Incredible Mountain Goat Risks Life to Lick Rock - Photo

This photo was taken by G. Hutcheson who said: "I have no idea how this Mountain Goat, Oreamnos americanus, managed to get down. I was there for more than an hour and it kept licking away at the mineral in the rock. It was a sheer drop below, there was no apparent way up or sideways. But then other’s did some amazing feats of climbing that the best mountain climbers would be envious of. Goat Lick Overlook, Glacier National Park, MT"

Such a great picture!

I wonder if you have contact with the photographer as I would love to buy a higher resolution copy one for a large print in my house.

Thank you!

They all are pretty cool. This type of editing is finding its place in photography. I'm seeing it much more often. Good work. What program are you us ring? I think you mentioned it a few photos ago but I forgot!
