On the Verge of the Abyss
by Gideon Gourell

Ramon Crater, Negev Desert, Israel

These Nubian Ibex were photographed at the rim of the Ramon Crater in the Negev desert. These three young ibex were quite curious as to what I was up to, and momentarily all three looked at me. This was a few minutes past sunrise, hence the special backlighting.

You have surely captured the feeling of being on the edge of an abyss here., Gideon. Beautiful lighting on the animals, too.
