Camel shadows Photo

Photographer’s Note

The sun was setting on the camel ground at the Pushkar fair.

As with many others in this series, originally this was in colour but I converted it to black and white. I explain why I chose to do so in the note to this photo.

Another nice scene Richard.. Funny, I didn't think the camel fair would be nice in B&W, you are proving me wrong.
It's light...airy.
That guy with the stick, the way he is standing, is really typical..

a big classic but it still works! i think the pic would have been cropped or framed even tighter... nice shot!

Hello Richard,
I like the really long shadows created by the almost hidden setting sun. The comp is great & your B&W tones are perfect for the mood here...I didn't know camels were so HUGE!!! :D take care
