Two young ibex were playing a simulated fight along the slopes of Gran Paradiso.

Nice action, and I like that eye. Not sure about the crop though, and the light looks very harsh. Was this cropped or was it framed like this. If cropped, I'd be tempted to play around with different crops - like one where the tip of the horn is not touching the edge of the frame or is more deliberately cropped. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Marsel, thanks for your comment. The photo was not cropped, this is the full frame: I had a prime lens and the action was really close (and obviously I couldn't easily go back as I was clinging to a rock).

Hi Marco,
Nice action shot! My comments are similar to Marsel's but your explanation of clinging to a rock and being stuck with a prime lens explains a lot. I'm wondering if a slight (and selective) bump to the exposure on the shaded portions (and only a very slight bump) might strengthen this already interesting shot a little more?
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
