It would only take a minute to clone the tag on it's ear out but I think that since it is a domsticated animal which is mainly farmed (as opposed to pets) then it's most common state is with a tag on it's ear or a brand. Shall I get rid of it? I like the blackberry cane tangled in it's fur and the wool caught on it's horn, they seem to emphasise the hardyness of goats, I actually found them scrambling around halfway up the cliff of the quarry in the background but I wasn't quick enough with my camera and they all slid down to see if I had food for them.

•  Comment In my opinion you dont need to clone the tag because as you allready said it is normal for domesticated animals. It also has a nice blue colour and so it is a good contrast to the otherwise brown colours of the picture. --Simonizer 12:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Support nice portrait of a goat --Simonizer 12:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Good quality picture but not enough to be FP. Framing too tight on head, harsh shadow on neck, overexposed body and distracting background. Alvesgaspar 10:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Support I like the unusual composition - particularly the line from the upper corner of the pic, through the horns, the nose and the body. And i like the blurry goats in the background. --Malene Thyssen 18:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• I like the goats in the BG too, (is that what you find distracting?) I think they're a key part of the image, I thought about removing them but it's a herd animal... --Benjamint 10:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
