Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
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.

@MaryB: You are right about the Mona Lisa smile. I hadn't noticed it before. Cool! Thanks Mary!

baobab from Cambridge, United States
great texture and chiaroscuro.
was there a particular reason why you cropped the camel's ear?
18 Jul 2008 4:40pm
@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.
Anne from White Rock, BC, Canada
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! :-)
18 Jul 2008 4:53pm
@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
