Nice show of the camel, but the dark and busy background distracts and takes from the initial impact

good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

Thanks so very much for your time and the fine review! Much appreciated! I thought the dark background of green gives it a natural look and pushes the image forward! :)

Informative artists notes...
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Excellent choice of subject.
Superb up close & personal.
Sharply focused.
Fine facial features & smooth textures.
Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...
Best of luck in the contest!
Good perspective & long depth of field...
Have you tried a vertical format with a blurry backdrop?
(Wide opening. Faster speed.)

Thanks for sharing...

Can you please guide me how to do the vertical format?

Just rotate your cam to the sides so you will capture his neck & chest as this thin capture of his body makes the viewer wonder if was this just by accident or no plans of inclusion. When you capture a body part, capture more! Thicker not just a thin slice of it...;-))

Thank you. I did't think of the tech aspects ofthis when I took this picture. Just shot it on an impulse! I have his full bodied photo, but I am not allowed to change it now. I have made a mental note of your useful suggestion for future. Thanks.

Had you captured the chest more, the initial impact would have been enhanced! ;-)

and they are a icon for a popular brand of cigarettes..wink..lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the camels facial is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Well captured with good focus, the image is clear and allows us to see the details of his face as well as the texture of his hair. Well exposed , natural colors and tones, nice close look , this shows his height. I tried to make friends with a camel once, he spit at me and tried to kick me! I liked the informative notes you provided too! Well presented!

This shot shows the tremendous versatility of this animal which is often thought of as being restricted to deserts. Very nice detail in the camel and beautiful colors.
