@Lorraine: You give excellent comments Lorraine! They are always well worded and thoughtful. If you are not a writer then you should be! Thanks for all your encouragement!
Using BW on this shot has made it into a more interesting composition. The small details and textures of the camel itself really pop, and this camel's face looks almost sweet. Nice work.

The textures of the camels rough coat are excellent Craig, I love it's expression, it has a Mona Lisa type smile.

this frame and compsoition is great too, really don't have a favorite between the two so far. great tones and contrast. it feels like it's snuggling up against something :)

great texture and chiaroscuro.
was there a particular reason why you cropped the camel's ear?

@baobab: To crop out distractions and simplify the photo. Also, to change the visual element of "space" moving it forward. Thanks for your comment baobab.
Extraodinary detail! Just love the black and white processing in this one! I guess you were pretty close with 6 mm. Glad he didn't spit at you! :-)

@Anne: He didn't spit on me; but, he gave me a warning by showing his teeth. After that, I have him more room! I appreciate your feedback Anne

He looks really smug, but that must be a camel thing. Congratulations on the expression and the razor sharp fur
