"Mountain Grin"

High in the rugged alpine terrain, I encountered this male Mountain Goat quietly grazing and resting among the rocks. I settled in with my camera, observing from a respectful distance, and waited for the right moment. This image captures what seems like a knowing grin—an expression that brings out the character and charm of this sure-footed inhabitant of the Rockies. The photo highlights the peacefulness of the scene and the subtle connection between photographer and subject, all under the soft mountain light.
