Ibex Eyes

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted March 23, 201567 views2 comments
I found this little guy on the edge of the Ramon Crater in southern Israel. Ibex's eyes are one of the most unusual and beautiful in nature in my opinion. Their eyes are a darker color when they are young and get a little lighter as they mature. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

This is a fine head shot on this Ibex, Jerry. The eye is lovely and stands out nicely from the well coordinated colors both in the Ibex and in the background.

Sweet portrait of the ibex. I like the simplicity and the soft colors.
