p.1 #1 · Mt. Evans---Mountain Goats, Pika,and Marmots

I am working in Breckenridge, Colorado over the summer and had some free time to run down to Mt. Evans for an early morning shoot. These goats are so much fun to photograph. Honest critique is appreciated....

Nice set. My picks are backlit goat in #7 and # 9. Great details in all these shots.

Excellent series - I really like the last marmot shot. Quite different than the hoary marmots we get in Alberta.

Cheers

Travis,

some nice shots here.

I like # 4, but wonder if you can retrieve more lost highlights as I think you may have blown some highlights.

Then I like # 7 & 9

Travis, great stuff here! 4 would be my favorite for subject matter but it does need a bit of mellowing down the brights, sorry Lil to repeat your thoughts.

I really like 7 for the best overall photo. Nice work on these.

Nice shots

7th is my favourite of the goat series and 9 and 12 from marmot shots.

I kind of like 4th and 5th, but for some reason, stones on the left in background distract my eyes from the goats. Just nitpicking

Great pictures! I think #4 really speaks to you and just captures life so well.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I have posted new versions of the goat photos with adjusted processing for the exposure. Please let me know what you think.

I also added another shot of a pika.

Travis,

I like the mountain background in #1, cuteness factor in #4, the backlighting in #7 and the background in #11. Nice series!
