Chamois
My first trip out since recieving my MK3 back after the 'Fix' I went to the Jura mountains as i could see it had some fresh snow and found a couple of small groups of Chamois, I spent a very enjoyable morning shooting these guys and as i took my time i managed to get quite close

Canon 1D3 + 2x (Highlight tone priority on)Evaluative +1 1/3

It's obviously never seen a 1d3 before! Bit too much up top for me Dave but other than that a great looking image. exposure looks great :toast:

Looks sharp enough and a nice subject/location to spend a good morning from the looks of it - are you pleased with the 'fix'?

Nice contrast and looks well exposed to me.

Terrific eye contact and great exposure with the dark fur contrasting with the snow

Handsome beast (the chamois!). Nice exposure, but maybe a bit less snow at the top for me as well.
