Description
While watching the one in the sun another ibex passes by partly behind the ridge; let's shoot it! With the camera of course!
I hope you enjoyed it up here! The sun is setting and it's time to go back! It's october and the sun sets early here. Walking in the dark is no fun on mountain-tracks, so we'd better be back before the sun leaves us!

This is the best! You really got close to it and caught it resting. Excellent shot of a wild ibex. The sky/the mountainside is gorgeous too. Marvellous picture. Fit to be framed!

The grass would make an excellent beard for a mountain billy goat. Getting the eyes horns and coat of the ibex in detail shimmering is a feature, for sure.

The Ibex are very relaxed around you, I would have thought that wild animals would stay far away from humans. An excellent capture, the sunshine on his fur is beautiful. Amazingly done =)

I love the "rim" lighting that really helps separate the ibex from the cool blue background in shadow. Those eyes look alien, but then again I haven't seen an ibex before now...

I'm glad he was friendly. What wonderful hiking companions you have Jan.
WiserAngel
fantastic capture! I love the lighting and the blue behind him as well. What a beautiful creature.

Great capture, great colours. Was the ibex moving, or did it stop to pose for you? Regards, John.
