Hi Jose
I like this POV, gives god perspective and scale. I know how harsh the Middle East light can be, having lived there for six years, photography can be challenging in that light...and heat. This is an impressive capture. Good pose both for camel and the rider and good colouring. I'm pleased to see someone else is posting pics of Egypt, I've posted a few lately.

TFS, Martyn

Olá José,
Very nice composition and focus, nice capture in difficult light conditions (harsh desert brightness and probably over 40 degrees Celsius). Perfect color balance. I should look at it with partial desaturation - full colored camel and bedouine + b/w background. Just an idea.
Tfs, greetings, László

Wow, Really a very beautiful picture, José.
The weak colours in the background give the camel with driver an exotic look, (as it is.!)
congratulation on this result.
Best wishes from Jan

Hi Jose,
The placement of the bedouine on camel in the vast desert adds a lovely perspective to the image with nice colours.

Hello Jose, a nicely composed image but for mine a little dark. Sometimes the sun can be too harsh for correct light. A workshop and TFS,

hello Jose,
A great Egyptian capture of daily life there--out in the dunes. A real sense of atmosphere.
Good colour and composition with the camel within the rule of thirds.
Well done. lots to like.
Take care, joni

Olá José,

Que foto maravilhosa, parece tirada do 'Lawrence of Arabia' :).

Gosto muito da vastidão e do sentimento de liberdade presentes aqui.

Parabéns

Hi Jose,
This was one of the featured photos in your gallery and should not be ignored as it is exotic looking. I have always wanted to visit Giza. Your composition is attractive and perhaps represent my vision of this ancient and sacred place. My compliments...Danilo

Hi Jose,
A good composition in this scenery. Must be ... 'special' ... to live in this type of nature. ;-) Not my choice, that's for sure.
To become an even more desolated feeling, you should have zoomed in less.
I can feel the heat over here. ;-)
greetings,
Joop!

Hi, Jose,
It must have been a special emotion to face desert on the back of this camel.
