[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On december 24th 2006 I visited the Eifel-Zoo in Lunebach, Germany. It's not a very big Zoo, but still a nice one, with a variety of different animals.
There were also a lot of goats. And this friendly goat was following all my moves when I walked by her.
So I stopped, she looked at me, I looked at her, I smiled, she smiled back at me, and that big smile of her I just had to take that home with me, so I made this picture. She does look friendly, doesn' t she.......:-)

Here's some goat-info from the internet:

The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a domesticated subspecies of the wild goat of southwest Asia and eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the bovine family, and is closely related to the sheep, both being in the goat antelope group.
Domestic goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. For thousands of years, goats have been utilized for their milk, meat, hair, and skins all over the world. In the last century they have also gained some popularity as pets.
Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males as bucks or billies; their offspring are kids. Castrated males are wethers. Goat meat is sometimes called chevon.

Tech Talk:

Applied a frame by increasing the cancas size with 5 mm all around. Made a duplicate layer of the image and resized it to the new format; I've set the density on 20%. I've put this layer under the original layer. Applied a dropshadow on the top image.
