Nice scene captured - symmetry and geometry of camels, plus some desert life.

wow, great picture! I know I shouldn't really be complaining about anything in this picture, but I feel like it would have been an even better picture if the camels to the right were not in the picture. also, tell us about the picture! where was this? Saudi Arabia, North Africa? also what were you doing there? either way tho, congrats on this picture!

thanks for the comments

 

erik, these caravans cross the tenere desert in niger, south sahara. it is still cheaper to transport the salt using camels than by truck. this caravan consists of 10 groups each with 12 camels lead by a one touareg. these groups march often in parallel side by side, which i wanted to capture in this documentary, concentrating on one group, but showing the framework. i also wanted the shadows of the camels

Amazing documentary image Dieter,great capture,best regards...Shuki

Beautiful work! Regards, Catalin

Very nice work, Dieter! Best regards, Ruud.

This is a clever, well composed photo, giving a very different mood from the usual beach camel shots. For my taste it could be a bit brighter. It would be perfect if all the shadows of the right caravan would be visible. Karl
