[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After I went down the dune to have a closer look at the dromedary (also here), I recognized two other dromedaries next to the one I had seen and a blue dressed man standing in the middle of them. They were just walking through the desert and I didn´t know where they were going to, maybe just to the next oasis.
At least, I liked to watch the scene; three dromedaries and a blue dressed man walking through the desert. The shadows still were quite long, so, as you can see, I took a photo.
I hope you like it and can give me some good hints,
Jonas

Hello Jonas,

Superb photograph:
by the composition which gives an idea of movement.
by the beauty of the colors.
by work with the shades.

Very beautiful work.
Cordially

Marc

very nice composition, with sharp shadows, and strong light, which enhances the contrast
regards Stefano

My friend Jonas,
Comliment to this excellent shot of yours heartedly!
This is the best pov and angle well chosen to have the subjects well placed in the image with the perfect result of the shadows from the sun!
also in perfect sharpness, good colour and details
keep it up on your talent!
greeting
Tony

Great timing here. The man and his dromedaries have a comically similar posture. This is just a beautiful and also humorous image.
cheers,
CT

Bonsoir, cher Jonas,
Le charme opère toujours autant avec chameau et dromadaire (chameau deux bosses, dromadaire une bosse, selon mes souvenirs !) ;o)
La projection des ombres donne un effet supplémentaire à la composition.
Une très bonne photo.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Jonas,
Three camels and one keeper, a pleasant composition!
As always a nice shadow play, and the colour of the man's robe contrast well with the sand...
Well framed and good dynamics!
Greetings,

Hi Jonas,

Still a beautiful image on this desert and its inhabitants. It is true that the good exposure offers the beautiful ones and clear lengthened shades. The tunic of the camel driver gives an appreciable key of color. Beautiful and alleviating image.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Bonjour Jonas,
j'adore les lumières basses ici et les ombres qu'lles génèrent, elles donnent des couleurs naturelles et de bons contrastes.
Excellent clin doeil à la vie de nomades.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hallo Jonas,
This disposition of elements is interesting here because they provide depth to your frame. Since the area on the left is empty and they are moving to the left, I would either frame more to the left to keep forward space, or frame it vertically to get even better depth, just two ideas.
Have a nice week end JY

I like very much the shadows on the sand. Gives lots of depth. A great picture.

Wie hast Du den blauen Berber dahingezaubert. Tolle Aufnahme, perfekt ins Bild gesetzt.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Hallo Jonas,
Just as good as the other from Merzouga. A magical place and you made a real good serie there. These places are very photogenic and i like how you captured this one from behind. The man in blue adds an interesting focal point to it...i like that.
Regards, Henk

Excellent brown tones, shadows and well-balanced compo, the man in blue is a welcome element of contrast.

TFS,
Andreea

The man in blue adds a pleasing colour contrast to the image. I like the long shadows too. Just a thought - but if you had moved the camera more to your left there would have been more space for the dromedaries to "walk into". Well done though

Hello Jonas
A very good shot again from the dunes...this time we have the man in the blue coat as an additional interest. Colours, sharpness etc are excellent. I can only suggest a small shift of POV to the left so that there was more space available in front of the camels...however since this shot already has been taken, I guess a vertical crop might be an alternative...just my thoughts. But very good work for sure!
Regards
Angshu

Hello JONAS,

different from the other photos,a very sharp
and smooth image with excellent depth.
NICE IDEA WELL SEEN

Hi dear Jonas,
Your desert serie is great and I enjoy it.your POV here is great as a point for the shot.the clarity is fine and details and sharpness are excellent.also the warm and kind side light helped you much to have a good shadows,you worked it perfectlly,nicely done Jonas !
Best Wishes
Take care
M

Jonas,
you saw a very good opportunity to compose this image and the threesome dromedars with the blue dressed man are absolutely great. Yes, the long shadows contribute a lot to the success, especially because the shadows go in the direction of movement. Jean Yves's remarks regarding the placement of the objects are very opportune and I only can endorse his point.
Peter

Hi Jonas!
Ich find des Bild richtig gut gelungen. Ziemlich geile Szene,der Kontrast ist nicht schlecht und ich find das Gewand des Dromedaren-Treibers sticht gut aus der öden Gegend hervor!
Sauber sag ich da nur ;D
MfG Rapha

Thats wonderfully composed and intensely poetic with superb hues all around. I like the composition and the way you have handled it.

Hello Jonas!
Lovely composition from Morocco!
Great colours and perfect light!
Clarity and perspective, very good!
Best regards!
Lili
