Hi Dave,

Nice one, I am particularly fond of the low viewpoint you have chosen here, perhaps a tad more contrast?

Impressive result looking at the techs.

Another nice action shot Dave, i agree with Phil, maybe a little more contrast!

Hi Dave

70-200 you were close - watch out he doesn't pick on you. Really nice action shot!

Hi Dave,

Another great image in your Ibex series, would agree that you could get a bit more with PS.

Regards

Hi Dave
another great action shot and for me one of the Ibex having it's eye open just makes the picture.

Agree with the contrast comments, but what a great shot. Eye is bang in focus where it was needed here I think :toast: Graeme

Hi Dave

Excellent action shot. I agree you need to maybe adjust the contrast a bit is it looks slightly flat as is. And blimey you were close to the action using a 200mm lens.

cheers
