Hi,
in winter they are coming down to valleys. As they are not shy, it'snt difficult to get close to them.
Cheers,
Wolf

Nice portrait! Lovely sweeping horns and just the right amount of head turn. The complimentary colour tones bring all the components together beautifully.

I really like the lines of the composition, with the head turn it makes an attractive "sideways V" shape. To be very picky I'm thinking that just a small shift to the left would have been even better, giving just a bit more room between the edge of the frame and the horn. Beautiful soft light and overall a lovely image.

I agree, the lines of the horns guides your eye directly to the face of the ibex. Very nice!

Hello W

Good look at the head and antlers, maybe a little tight on left side. But nice light and sharp details, Thanks for sharing!
