[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cappadocian lanscapes have been George Lucas's source of inspiration for the desert planet of Tatooine in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. While there, looking at some of the local residents, I realized that Cappadocia may have been a source of inspiration as well for some of his extra-terrestrial characters :)

I have not seen any of the Star Wars movies (it is not my type of movie) but I believe this character could well be one of the many fiction figures. This camel looks really very “red carpet” because of his posture for the picture!!! It is a nice portrait indeed and the pinnacles on the background are also very good.
Antonio

Excellent presentation with the blue rocks in the BG. Very sharp details and beautiful colours.
Best wishes,
Achim

He seems to have a good amount of saliva in the mouth, so I guess you were lucky to escape without getting wet :). Fine close-up with the signature Cappadocian landscape in the backdrop, Vincent. I would just suggest to open up the eye area in PP. Regards,
Hakan

hi vicent,
nice close-up of this camel. tfs.

Salut Vincent,

J'espère que tu as utilisé davantage la partie "85" que la partie "17" de ton objectif, parce qu'avec le petit mélange fermenté qu'il a au bord des lèvres, je ne me serais pas aventuré de trop près... :-P)

Ben si ce camélidé n'a pas inspiré George "mise en pli" Lucas, alors il l'a fait avec toi. Joli portrait bien net et surtout bien ficelé, en prenant soin de chjoisir le background qui complète bien le tableau. Si on suit la doctrine qui préconise de prendre le sujet dans son environnement, alors on ne pouvait demander mieux.

Amicalement,

André

Vincent c'est une photo choc comme on en voit peu. Ce gros plan est très vivant et respire la bonne humeur.
Merci pour cet instant.
Jacques

Hi Vincent, good and funny portrait! Good job!

TFS and regards,
Philip

Hi Vincent,

Salut Vincent,
Sympa ce portrait du chameau, juste assez decentre pour voir les cheminees de fees si typiques de la Cappadoce... Nettete et couleurs parfaites
Amicalement

You certainly got up close and personal with this character! It looks as if he is getting ready to spit at you. Excellent detail and clarity in his fur and features. The blurred Cappadocia chimneys in the background are perfect for context. Well done

Bonjour Vincent,
Ils ont vraiment une bonne bouille ces animaux. Celui-ci semble vraiment intéressé par l'objectif.
Bien pris au bon moment.

Salut Vincent,
Ça c'est un superbe portrait très ragoutant. Il donne envie pour un beau bisou bien mouillé :o(( J'espère qu'il était sympa le cahmeau!

Bonsoir Vincent,
Un cousin de Chewbaka? Chameaux et chèvres sont mes animaux préférés pour portraits et ce ci est particulièrement réussit, tant pour la pose de l'animal, comme pour montrer très bien ou il est.
Amitiés, José.

bonsoir Vincent
la photo est amusante grâce au "sourire" peu ragoûtant de ce chameau!C'est bien cadré avec un bel arrière-plan de cheminées de fées!
Amicalement.

Bonjour Vincent,
A lovely and the famous potrait from Cappadocia. Great POV and very well composed. Well done my dear friend...
All the best...
Ali Rıza

Well! A magnificent portrait, Vince! He has a very cold and calculating eye, and , I suspect, a bad temper. Nicely sharp and well saturated. I'm sure George was impressed: I certainly am.

Bonjour Vincent,
very nice the very close up portrait of this camel with the open mouth and the Cappadocian characteristic rock shapes.Indeed it would be a good inspiration George Lucas to make a film in these region.

OK, je ne suis pas trop animalier... Alors, je suis un peu perplexe...
Mais, le close pov est assez original et crée une compo marrante. Alors...

Hi Vincent,
He is so cute! Great sharp details here on his face and the spit or something he is eating. Nice that we can see the chimney structures in the background too.

Wanda

Bonjour Vincent,
A lovely potrait from Cappadocia with the animal. Great POV and details. Very well framed. Well done my dear friend...
Best Regards
Aires

Bonjour Vincent,
impressionnant plan serré sur le visage de ce chameau qui sourit tandis qu'il regarde le photographe, mais, attention que parfois ils crachent!. Le paysage de la Capadocia dans l'arrière-plan ajoute un bon intérêt géographique.
Une prise très sympathique et amusante.
Amicalement,
Josep

Re Vincent,

J'espère qu'il n'avait pas l'haleine trop chargé l'animal !!! Un bien joli portrait serré qui donne un côté humoristique à l'image. La photo a une belle qualité et un netteté appréciable. Bien vu Vincent.

Avec mes amitiés,

Jean-Charles

Hi, Vincent -

Oh, yes, he did! And you're lucky he didn't spit on the lens, too!

Best,
Dan

Hi Vincent!
I love this one, especially in all the great detail! It looks like an amazing area, and of course the Camel is wonderful. Nice work, take care,
Steve

Hi Vincent!
very expressive photo!
congratulation!

Vivi

Hahahahahah what a great pose!-:))))
The 3D effect comes here very good, the lightness also very good.
The background comes nice clear-blurred it is needed for this portrait.
Cheers
Evangelos

Funny one with interesting note.
I've never heard about that.
Excellent portrait of the camel! :)
Well done!

Ola Vincent,
Que belos detalhes deste camelo tem uma cara bem simpática , bonitas cores, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo
