Just had a look at Willy Womat's insane looking Junee Goat


It reminded me a couple of images from my parents property in NSW - I grabbed while playing around with the 80-400VR and monopod.

I'm not completely satisfied with the composition of #2.

C&C welcome.

These are terrific portraits, eyes seem as though they could have been a smidge higher in the frame (crop a smidge off the top?), not sure on croppinp off the bottom of the collar(necklace? :lol: ), good eye detail, terrific use of DOF, might try a subtle de-sat on the red tag?

I wasn't sure by the title what these would be like but I was pleasently surprised by the shots, #1 is strongest for me but they are both good looking goats :)

Well done Daniel. These ones are a lot more marketable than my goaty effort.

Thanks for the feedback everyone :D

The 80-400 is just built for stuff like this - f/5+ is great.

Manta... I think it's near impossible to escape a DSLRusers thread these days with out a collection of puns that would make News Ltd proud :lol:
