slight rotate, slight crop, calculationg to b/w, curves to bump it a little brighter and contrastier. I had other candidates, but I really loved the black and white conversion on this one, and the texture of the door.
This was shot on shutter priority. The light was low, so I set it to the slowest speed that will still guarantee against camera shake.

I am not sure why I joined the Critique Club when all I seem to get are these amazing shots. It is making my job very hard.
I love the mood that you have set with the blacks and whites. The grain really pops out and brings out more details on the building and especially the door. The different textures you have going on here are splendid. THe buttery white of the goat, is in excellent contrast to the rest of the shot.
The ISO being at 400 helped along with the SP setting. The only thing is I would crop just a tad bit off teh top of your shot so that the full attention is on the goat and his surrounding area. There is too much black at the top and I am searching for details there.
I can see this in a shop selling like hotcakes, well done!
If I were to wager a guess, I'd say this belongs to the guy who shoots goats about as often as I shoot pigeons... Or it is a tribute to that guy. One of my top pics for this challenge.
