I like this one, because it actually shows animal behaviour.

You're very brave I must say, I'd not have been anywhere near this scene! Great capture.

A very unusual perspective - how close were you? You and camera obviously survived the encounter!

Obviously a zoo shot. If this would have been in the wild, you would have been attacked. Also...the goat and the background are almost the same color. Hanging up a blue sheet with some clouds painted on it behind the goat would have made this a much better shot.

Wonderful shot. I like the colors, detail and action. Not to mention those great antlers.

Wow - look at the antlers on him !!

Great colouring as well to blend in to his background.
