[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Rferring to my last posting o "Camels at Dawn", I had got to the camel race track early last weekend, hoping to find some camels already training. Eithor I was already too late or very likely a little too early, I only saw camels being led away towards the camel paddocks which are close by. In this photo, I had followed this "train" into the old paddock area, which is criss-crossed by a maze of dusty roads, and had positioned mysel at location where I could capture them as they walked into some early morning sunlight. I had used my 75-300mm Canon lens to crop in fairly close while they walked on the sandy road, towards me.
I have cropped some more, added small amount of contrast, and +6 saturation.

Hi Grant,

I'm surprised to see not a single point on this one! Well, I got used to not getting many points on good photographs either ;-).
I do like the compo! Maybe a slight bit too centered, but I like the low light hitting the camels. Nice.

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Grant,
Wonderful golden tones to this early morning capture of the colorfully clad camels gently being led toward their paddocks. The white clothing of the camel handlers contrast beautifully with the golden colors of the camels and desert sands.
Regards, Tom

Very striking composition here and pov, Grant. You have captured this is great warm light and the effect is simply great. Good contrast of light, shadow and color. TFS
