Cool shot. Looks like you were at the edge of the cliff too. Reminds me of our mountain goats.

Beautifully composed Dave. That head turn to the LLC does it for me. Perfect DOF to convey the drop off these guys never seem to think twice about. Gives me the willies watching them scamper about.

Very nice shot Dave. I really like the composition and especially the cock of the ibex's head. Congrats on the EP!
