Derawar Fort

Derawar Fort is an ancient fort located in Cholistan Desert in

Pakistan. The Fort was built by Deoraj, a prince of Jaisalmer. It

was in possession of royal family of Jaisalmer when it was captured

by Abbasis in 1735. In 1747, the Fort slipped from the hands of

Abbasis in the reign of Nawab Bahawal Khan due to his pre-

occupations at Shikarpur. Nawab Mubarak Khan took the stronghold

back in 1804

It's easier to say than to capture, but the camel and its driver would have been better placed more on left side. The camel driver is seriously overexposed too. It's spoils a little this still nice scenery.

What I like best about this shot is the almost carefree attitude of the camel. I noticed an odd thing, too. If the camel strides as long as he appears top be about to, in how many steps will he leave the man comfortably behind? Just curious.

Great image!!! I dont think the camel driver is overexposed. It is just that he is wearing white over a white background and therefore not easily distinguishable. Playing with colour saturation and levels could improve this very easily. FYI
