Valerio this is not chamios!! Possibly a female ibex?
Oooh,the scan could use some work. Love the composition but severre dust to clean up and strong color cast.
Nice composition Valerio,
I see alot of dust on the print and too grainy on my monitor; the overall image has like a bluish cast...:D As far as your subject goes; I have no clue as to what it might be...:confused:
I leave that to our experts...:)
Thank you Gus. It's a chamois because :the small horns are oblique at the top, chamois is not confident, capra ibex is not scared by the man(not exactly confident). a bluish cast (I say 'dominant')is quite costant in the mountains (here:2 800 metres high). Yes ,I see some dust, the digital work is different than scanning!! within few weeks you'll have new photos. this is old.
Neat shot, and congratulations on the capture. Thanks for sharing. Even "old" scanned slides can be digitally cleaned of dust and have the color cast "fixed" to some degree. I sure envy you the opportunity to capture this mountain critter on such a steep slope in such a neat place.
Thank you Robert, I apreciate your c.. I have some defects: one not read well every instructions! Yes I rescanned 4 slides with ICE, ROC in my NIKON COOLSCAN 5000: all cleared you'll can see saoon in Lanscapes:
I like the composition, but I'm going to cast my vote with the "Ibex" crowd - based on the thickness of the horns at the base and the little white patch on the rump. I expect the horns on a chamois to be almost uniformly thin for most of the length and a more pronounced hook at the tip, and bigger ears. Any images where it is fully lit?

Thanks, Valerio.
I remain unconvinced, but that doesn't really matter. I look forward to seeing more of your fine images.

I'd put money that it is a female or young Ibex-I was shooting them today here in Switzerland,The chamois have totally different shaped horns and the body looks more like ibex than chamois-but you where there and i wasnt
