Ramon Crater Ibex

Dug back into the archives and found this image of an Ibex on the rim of the Ramon Crater in Southern Israel. I like the fact that you can see the huge crater in the background.

Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry,
Whilst the "look down" may appear a little awkward, breaking the "rules" often works.

Good looking critter, Jerry. I like how all the subtle and very well coordinated colors let his eye and horns stand out. Your view shows off the cliff nicely.

I agree fully with Ken that the perspective off the edge into the crater is a strong enhancement. Depth of field control is nice in that the OOF background adds to the sense of depth. I like the amber colored eye!
