Thanks, Stephen!
Thanks, Mark. I shot these with my 20D + 100-400. It's my second favorite lens after the 70-200 f/2.8...
Where did you take them?
Cheers, Shayne

At the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado Rockies!! I'd have preferred to take them in a non-captivity environment, but I can't afford to drive two hours away to their natural habitat at this time, so these will do for now...
Thanks, Mike. I love Rocky Mountain Goats. These creatures are very beautiful. Bighorns come next in beauty!
However... you missed a great chance to tell how you hiked for seven hours with you new MKIII and the 600mm.
Lovely work no matter where they were, thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Jim. If I ever get to win a lotto, MKIII and 600mm will come... And I'll hire someone to carry my gear for that 7 hour hike...
