Amazing camel shot

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Incredible what a difference a new perspective makes. Look closely and you'll see what I mean. (MODS: Please delete if this image has been on before)

He seems to take a lot of shots from an ultralight.

I just got home from a 10 hour night shift and it took me 15 mins to work out what everyone was talking about.

Fantastic shot though.

Time for bed.

Yeah, excellent! I was seeing all sort of things (like a rock face with a painting on it) until it finally clicked and "whoa!".

Thanks for amending my original entry, Peter. I so very rarely post other's images that I forgot the correct protocol. :oops:

I'm pleased you all find this shot as refreshing as I do. I'll be bookmarking this guy's site as I find his stuff really inspiring. More than just the usual travelogue shots.

It really brings to mind the idea from Australia's top fighter ace in WWII "Killer" Caldwell who developed the method of shooting at the shadows instread of trying to sight the actual target in North Africa. Much easier to see.
