These goats were a riot! The front three lined up and posed for me.

I tried various crops but decided on this version because I like that big machine in the back.

Oversaturated red, magenta, yellow, desaturated the whole thing, USM, levels, cropped around the edges, added contrast, added border.

I like the machine in the back, too. It seems so incongrous. And I like that they posed for you - very cute!

Awwwww. . . I love goats! My experience with them has been that they are really afraid of people, so I appreciate being able to catch them like this. I like it!

I love this! Although goats kind of scare me a bit, those eyes! But they are great in front of the camera, huh? Nice processing, too.

This is so funny, as it really looks like you have lined them up, just to get this shot.....
Great timing to capture this, as it just works a treat.....

wow alicia .. you're getting some excellent contrasts happening .... great photograph, and especially after reading your notes, i can just imagine you standing there taking this photograph and having a laugh at the three idiots!! ..
i have a shot of three sheep that i called 'three idiots' .. i reckon goats arent that much more intelligent .. altho .. i could be wrong .. goats may actually be extremely intelligent .. well look at these ones .. they knew exactly wot you wanted them to do ... they may not only be intelligent, but psychic as well ... !! .. i'm in a very silly mood tonight ..

Nice tonal range. This photo has a rich look to it.

Are these the infamous Billy Goats Gruff? ...or are they the famously entertaining "fainting" goats? If I hadn't read your notes I would have said the truck in the background is annoying, but since you liked it, I won't mention that. :) I do think the image would be better if the 3 goats were more isolated - as it is, the sum of all the distracting background elements compete heavily with the subjects. The focus and DoF is good though.
