Life on the edge by Amit Eshel, Israel Winner, Animals in their Environment Amit Eshel witnesses a dramatic cliffside clash between two Nubian ibex. After hiking to a vantage point on the clifftop, Amit slowly crept closer, using a wide-angle lens to set the action of two clashing Nubian ibex against the dramatic backdrop. The battle lasted for about 15 minutes before one male surrendered, and the pair parted without serious injury. In the run-up to the mating season, part of the males? coat darkens, and their neck muscles thicken. Rivals will raise up on their hind legs and ram their heads together. Their horns sometimes break as they collide. Location: Zin Desert, Israel Technical details: Canon EOS R5 + 24?70mm f2.8 lens at 45mm; 1/800 at f8; ISO 500
