p.1 #1 · The Goat


A goat herder and his prize goat, village of Lot, about 8500 feet above sea level in the Himalayas. The old ways are slowly disappearing.

He actually quite spontaneously hugged the goat. This goat probably meant survival for him and his family.

Interestingly, he showed very little affection toward his wife, but I was informed later that it was a cultural taboo to do so publicly.

My only issue is the cropping on the right, I would crop within the post if practical. I don't know, but sometimes the man of the house actually does prefer his animals/pets to his wife! Excellent subject matter, Charles!

Thanks, Douglas, about the cropping suggestion. I think you are right. I won't provide any more commentary about this man's preferences. His wife seemed very lovely and kind, but I guess there were other factors at play here.

Animals are sacred creatures in the Eastern societies. B&W really has this standing out Charles! Nice and sharp!!

Great work as always. Love the lighting and the black and white treatment.

The lower right corner has a noticeable uncanny look to it though. I might also recommend cropping that side of the fame a bit.

Totally right, Daniel. It looks like snow but it is actually sunlight. It should have been cropped.

What I meant by uncanny is that there is a noticeable cloning job that looks hastily done. I would crop that out instead of leaving it because I think it really lessens the impact and quality of the photo.

Apparently, too late to edit, but this is what it would have looked like:
