Wow !!! very nice animal shot.

Ken Skeeters 7 months ago

He has a look of love and kindness in his eyes. Hopefully he is all of these. Great photo.

Ken

Mandy Schoch Well it depends who you're asking. I would tell you he is as kind and gentle as can be. The little female goats his age would completely disagree with me :) Great to hear from you, Ken. Thank you!

Hello Mandy. And 'this sweet creature, a beautiful foreground to frame the whole nose that seems to ask why so many cuddles. A beautiful subject for a really nice shot. Congratulations, Francesca.

Mandy Schoch Such a lovely comment, Francesca. Thank you!

Lovely shot. So cute. How did you find one so clean? ;-)

Mandy Schoch Well, he's only two weeks old here, so he was still in super-soft, ultra-fluff mode. Plus, he's mine and he learned early on that I'd much rather remove twigs from his head before shooting than later on in PS :) Thanks so much, Mike.

small goats are "beasts" :-)
lions, alligators, anacondas are against innocent little cats!
:o)))) :o)))))
in my dreams one little goat would eat me !!!!!
:o))) :o))) brrrrrr

maybe this one!!!!!
:o) :o)

Mandy Schoch haha :)) Trust me, Zoltan-- in real life, they will only eat your shoelaces. Hopefully you'll sleep better now.
Thanks again for the great laugh! :-)

When I look at this picture I always laugh ... it is so expressive ...
not only because of a small goat ... it reminds me of my childhood
I was 5 years old and one time I was knocked over a small goat
I cried ..... and since I'm afraid of goats
:o)
beautiful work Mandy
Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!
:o)

Mandy Schoch Oh no! :) Zoltan...I understand. As you can easily see here, little goats are ferocious beasts. If you get too close, they will lick your face and if you sit down, they will climb in your lap and fall asleep. Scary little things :)) I am so glad you told me that....you made me laugh and laugh! It's always so great to hear from you. Thanks very much!!

Marei Dear Mandy, Your nice and wonderful words make me glad, To see the babies would be a great joy. Here all is fine and well. Many thanks! Marei

Sometimes you scan the front page, looking through the thumbnails, and there's a flash of recognition: it's one of Mandy's goats!! Such fun! So you click on it and there is this delightful face, such a friendly image. Lovely work, my congratulations!

Mandy Schoch Tim, it's so much fun for me to hear that :) He has horns now and uses them often. Thelma and Louise don't find him as delightful as you do. Thank you very much for your lovely comment!

Mal Smart 9 months ago

very attractive image indeed Mandy.

are the colour issues fixed as you see this?

mal

Mandy Schoch Thanks so much, Mal :) Unfortunately, no it's not fixed. Weird thing is, as soon as this was published, the thumbnail (which appeared over saturated when I uploaded it and remained that way) reverted back to the original colors. It now matches my original photo. How's that for a head-scratcher? :)) I did not try piriform yesterday, but it's on my to-do list today. Thank you for asking. I'll let you know if I figure this out....

Guido Brandt 9 months ago

Would love to read the tutorial on this one! ;-) Congratulations Mandy!

Mandy Schoch Really great to hear from you by the way :)) Thanks again!!

Mandy Schoch Thank you, Guido :) It's a pretty simple tutorial:
1. Lie down, press face into gravel until firmly embedded in skin.
2. Remove 2 extraneous baby goats from head.
3. Shoot 3 frames of subject.
4. Remove 4 extraneous baby goats from head and back.
5. Notice subject has completely left scene.
6. Stand up, remove gravel from knees and face for 10 minutes.

Guido Brandt Thanks for the tutorial Mandy - I just need a goat now ;-).

So sweet! Congrats on getting another photo up on 1x, Mandy! :)

Mandy Schoch They are very sweet when they're 2 weeks old. Now his horns are growing and with them, he's discovering his big male ego! It really is nice to have another photo accepted, Kim... it's been quite a while. Hope you're doing great, and thank you :)

Mandy Schoch Christoph, hi! He and Thelma and Louise all have the same dad-- the big guy on the sofa. Must be why you recognized him :) I'm happy he made it here too. Thanks so much.

Anna Golitsyna 9 months ago

Oh, I should have guessed it's yours! Absolutely adorable and the setting is just perfect. Just in case you were worried about its saturation - fine for me :-)

Mandy Schoch Anna, thank you!! This is indeed the one I was wondering about. Now that it's here, I'm not sure which I should get checked first-- my eyes or my head :)
