Glad I opened the larger version... there is much more detail in the aimal's face. The clean background makes him stand out and the rock gives a sense of his environment. Well done!

I agree with Patrica. In an ideal world you might have preferred some colored sky and clouds as a background, but you made the most of what you were given. I like the low perspective.

Nicely done! I also like the low angle of this image. The detail and colors are very good. Have you tried a tighter crop? Just a thought it might have more impact with a tighter crop on the ibex, or it might not. Thanks for sharing.
