A wonderful photographic moment...Bravo!

Wonderful scene captured ... great work. Regards

Great timing, composition, and color.  A really nice image.

I think this one deserves a "7" from me.

Perfect Capture,right moment and wonderful background,love it

Regards Adri

Your composition and timing deserves the highest rate

Perfect timing!

Truly spectacular, they almost look like stone statues placed in the grass.  This is such an outstanding moment.  It's hard to imagine a better wildlife image, you must have been thrilled to be there and get it.  You have several excellent images of these beasts squaring off, but to me this one transcends the rest.  Congratulations, great, great work.

Best regards Marius!

bravo, 6/7 !

A great shot taken at the right moment.  The only tiny thing I would change is the grass. Just a bit darker makes it stand out more against the background, enhancing the depth.

cheers, hans

Beautiful Picture, and great capture!

Superb action shot combined with warm colors and impressive background!

Well done Marius!

Just great

Thanks You all for Your comments!

I must say this was not an easy task. In the last 2 years I've tried many times to capture such images with alpine ibex in action.

Alpine ibex photos?! No problem. Action alpine ibex?! Well, this is a problem. I have only a 70-200 Lens (this was taken with it + Canon 5D Mark II) and I have to come really near.

It works ... with patience and many attempts.

Well worth the effort!  And, while you are forced to be close, you get the most enjoyable experience of _being_ close.  Good for you!!!

Shot of a lifetime.Wow Im envious.

Great shooting angle, congrats!

Marius, in this battle, you are the winner. You deserve highest rating for such superb composition, very good exposure, and colour-contrast. Admirable perspective and timing.

Amazing capture! Congrats for your wonderful work!

I dont know how how you managed this one !! just brilliant !! The POV and the actions just sets it apart . Does not deserve less than '7' because the background too stands out !!!
