What wonderful animals these ibexes are! These goat-like animals can walk on very small ledges between boulders and along steep walls in the mountains. They are found in the Alps and Pyrenees.
I came across this male in a wildlife park in Innsbruck, Austria; he was clearly the leader of his herd. And even though there was actually little danger, he was constantly on his guard to protect his family. And that's how I wanted to capture him.
A strong leader keeping an eye on his and protecting his flock if necessary, he reminded me of Simba from the Lion King. When editing the photo, I removed almost all colour from the background so that only the greys and browns remain, this gives calmness to the photo and the eye is immediately drawn to the ibex and thus the few colours. These calm natural colours make the work suitable for almost any interior.
