Innocence....
Posted by Kylie Greenan (Hunters Hill, Australia) on 16 July 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
I was taking some shots of an old car today, totally absorbed and unaware of anything else.. I hear a noise behind me and this little goat was standing there watching me, with a total look of innocence on its face.

@Extempore: Thank you so much for your kind comments, I love the look on his face too, lucky he shot off into the grass or I would have had to bring him home as a pet! Thanks for stopping by!

Maybe it wanted to eat the car ? :) my partner had pet goats as a child and he said they'd eat most anything..it's a very nice photo of the little fella

Stu from Kyoto, Japan
There's definitely something fairytale about this. He almost seems to be smiling! Love your b&w too.

@Stu: Thanks for your kind comments Stu, the light was amazing as it it hit his coat, it was so soft and fluffy, he was only a youngen, I like the softness that came through in this, I wasn't sure I would capture it but it is exactly how I saw him, this was taken in colour but converted to B&W which seem to bring out the detail. Thanks for your comments here Stu.
