Dear Michal

Your camel picture immediately attracted my interest. Possibly because my wife and myself really like camels and then because your shot let me ask, what possibly could the man be watching, perhaps the St. Katherine Cloister? It's a very nice capture of the morning sunlight, while the reddish soil sets a nice contrast to reddish-gray hills in the background. Great sharpness and DOF. Well done

Best regards
Urs

This is a beautiful shot Michal. The lighting is glorious and I really like the way the hills are layered into the distance. Composition and colours are "top drawer" and it has sharpness in all the right places while the background is nicely blurred. Excellent work.
cheers

Hi Michal,
This shot has a nice feeling about it as the camel looks off into the distance at the beautiful layering of the mountains. It is a pity that the sky is so overexposed and maybe it will also look good if you crop it out (see what you think in workshop), but it is still a nice shot with beautiful light on the camels and their owner.
Regards
Wanda
