'Scape Goat *

Escondido, CA

With all the controversy surrounding the voting booths, I decided to go looking for one. I had the idea last weekend, and ended up driving around in the hills east of my house looking for goats. Found sheep, horses, cows, ostriches. No goats. So I decided to visit the wild animal park that is also a few miles east of my house, yesterday. Found him!

This fellow blends in so well with his surroundings that he can be difficult to spot in the wider version of this image.

No, I had done no sharpening. My photoshop skills are still rather narrow. Thanks for the tip!

Did you sharpen this at all? Looked a bit soft to me so I tried applying some unsharp mask in Photoshop and it really improved the image. What settings did I use? Amount: 250%, Radius: 0,3pixels, Threshold: 2 levels (setting that happened to be there since last time I'd used USM).

Ha-ha! Creative!
