One of the great things about hiking in national parks is seeing things that you do not normally see in your day-to-day life. JD and I was about half way through our hike when we wondered upon three mountain goats. Normally, mountain goats are very shy and take-off the moment that they see you, however, these three stayed around for about twenty minutes while we ate a snack and watched them.In this photo, I like the way the white of the mountain goat contrasted against the dark bark of the trees.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 at ISO 800, f/9.5 and 1/500th of a second on a tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set black and white points, and added clarity and vibrance.
I think your photo would have been improved by removing all the rocks. They seem to be somewhat distracting to me.

I agree with Mel, the rocks are distracting but they were there so I think they should stay. I do like the contrast. My eyes move directly to the subject. Wish there was a little more detail in the goat.

Great shot Larry. Lot's of nice detail in the shadows and highlights.
