[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A followup to yesterday's photo.
I managed to move closer to take this photo of the resting ibex. Actually I was only 8 ft away and I sat there with him for about three minutes. I even had to lean backwards to capture the whole length of his beautiful horns.

Fantastic capture, Paul.
A beautiful animal with very impressive horns.
I like his pose with his downcast eyes.
Sharp details and great POV.

Another superb shot, Paul!
A very beautiful close-up picture of this stunning ibex.
Excellent colors, lovely colors, great POV and very nice BG.
Bravo and TFS

Simply majestic animal, more imprssive to me than the chamois, moufflons and bighorn sheep im used to. I've only seen them in zoos.
Fantastic follow up on yesterday's post, a lot more personal but still the same divine warm light.

Bella foto Paul, complimenti!
Benvenuto su Treknature!
Ciao.

Paul, these are native? Never have seen a horn like that.

well done,

Scott

Excellent capture Paul
A majestic looking Ibex, even thought he looks like he's having a snooze.
The composition is good, you did a great job getting those large horns
into the photo.
