Picture of the day - March 30, 2008

You lookin' at me?

Photo courtesy of Simeon Eichmann. Living in a rural area with lots of farms allows me plenty of opportunities to see farm animals interact with each other, and the ones that intrigue me the most are goats. It seems like these furry critters are always up to something, and way back in February 2005 I was lucky enough to "catch" one of them standing on top of the haystack it was dining on. Today's picture features a couple of goats staring each other down, and when I look at this hilarious image I can almost hear Robert DeNiro's voice saying "Hey, you lookin' at me?" My guess is the one with the "beard" is the tough one, but with goats you can never really tell. At any rate, these fellows are giving each other the eye, and if one of them doesn't back down the fur will likely be flying before we know it! The camera and settings used to capture this image are as follows: Camera: Canon EOS 20D Focal length: 250mm Aperture: f/6.3 Shutter speed: 1/320 of a second ISO: 400   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
