Les Trois Graces Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here you can see three chamois females in Vysoke Tatry (High Tatras, Northern Carpathian mountain) over Zeleno pleso (Green lake) disturbed by an eagle.

I was fortunate capturing them before they run away. I was silently standing quite close to them while headwind was blowing, so they did not realise me for some seconds.

The magic of these gracious animals make me feel they might be Nymphs or Graces of Tatra enchanded to be Chamois.

Wonderful composition in a lucky moment. I really like the vertical crop which emphasizes the mountain world these creatures inhabit. Wonderful shot! Thanks, Judy

Hello Jalab
We are always excited when you can come close to the wild animals, without being noticed, and spend a few seconds breathtaking, looking at the nature. What is surprising is the large vertical landscape format (cropped?)

Hi Jalab, How nice these three graces. I was so many times in tatras but I have never seen chamois so close. You were very lucky! Wonderful photo. Zelene pleso - I was there but when it was? Looong time ago.....

Warm regards

Hi,
Very nice capture of these three chamois. You were very lucky to get this close.

However I dont like the crop. The branches in the foreground dont add anything to the picture and they take away focus from the animals and make the landscape less dramatic. If you crop out the branches the viewer focuses more on the animals and the impressive wall behind them.

Take care.

I must tell you, you´re a lucky guy! Great photo showing these beautiful animals in their living area. The composition is a bit static, an offset from the center could be vital. Anyway, it´s a charming photo. Congratulations!
Best regards,
Adrian
