Hi Andrew,
Welcome to TE!
This photo is interesting and a nice first post. It reminds me of a recent trip of mine to Anna Bay in Australia where I was able to ride on a camel through the sand dunes, which I really enjoyed and was lots of fun.
This must have been a fascinating experience, to see the camels in a true Egyptian desert setting with the pyramids in the distance. Were you able to ride one yourself?
Just a couple of tips - I'd probably rotate the photo a little anti-clockwise to remove the slight tilt and maybe cut out a little bit of the sky to focus in even more on the camels and desert scene.
Thankyou for sharing your photo with us.
Claudia

Hello Andrew,

Jolie composition, bienvenue sur TE

Andrew,

You've managed to make what is a highly touristic spot, look like a remote, mystical landscape. The hazy horizon helps too.

Congratulations.

Alex
