I don't agree. While it is easy to imagine that the "egg" is resting
on higher ground than much of its surrounding area, at least in the
direction this image is pointed, I don't get the feeling of a "cliff"
at all. Even if it were resting on a cliff--so what? What would be
wrong with that?

I like this image a lot. I think the perspective of the image is just
fine. I've seen lots of photographs that have a similar feel to them.

I do have one little suggestion. If you crop a little off the top of
this image, I think it draws more attention to the eye, and helps to
add to the feeling of isolation and disparity between the figure
inside the egg and its surroundings. I'm suggesting a modest amount of
cropping here. One should still be able to see some blue sky over the
top of the egg.
