I like it. The smooth blue sky is a perfect background. Ideally, I wouldn't have cut the lower goat but it's always easier after the shot has been made…

I'm impressed by the sharpness across the field. Did you crop a bit? (A lot?)

No problem, I like it a lot and we both know that we don't live in a perfect world.

Mountain goat kids... maybe.  Look more like desert bighorn sheep lambs to me.  definitely cute though!

Could well be sheep Mike.  I was assuming there were some adults present that provided the ID but maybe not.  I'm no expert, I would say that the faces are more shaped like sheep (broader) than goats.

Mike/Chuck...Good catches! Caught in the act!
You have a prove!
The title was misrepresented and has been changed.
At least there're some truths in the description. It was not shoot in the zoo and it's shoot by Canon! :)

Thanks very much!

It's another fine one. I like how the background is just blurred enough…

Great modelling in that light. They look almost three dimensional.
