Just an odd image from a pumpkin farm. Nothing great but it just struck me as funny- the goat silluetted against the sky. Hope you like it.

Well yes, technically it might not be the best photograph ever but it certainly isn't bad, and the subject is great, absolutely worth posting. These goats are amazing. I wonder if cropping slightly to a completely diagonal composition would have an even stronger impact.

Good image, I like it. I also agree with Roly, I think cropping out the right slightly may give a better effect.

yes, quite original. These animals are incredible. i remember seeing goats in mamallapuram, India, on the little cliff of the famous "Ganges" mural, and some spots they were on, I have absolutely no idea how they could have gooten there (and out), so precarious was the angle, and small the space they elected to get to.

Nice subject. It reminds me of Noah's Ark...But the sky is not cloudy enough...

Like Paolone, your picture reminded me of Noah's Ark. This goat is the last one to board.
It's a good composition, however, it has the potential of being better. Like vapours said, "cropping out the right slightly may give a better effect".

I love this shot, its som weird and funny looking, as if the goat climbs Jacob's ladder into heaven. It would look even weirder if you cropped a bit in the right side som that the viewe looses the sense of this ledge being attached to something, and you would get rid of the lens flare as well.
