Hi Noel
Great final result...
fantastic colours in gold, and a very good composition of the picture.
I think the cammels are a bit oversharp but I loved the noise sensation of the BG.
well done.

Hi Noel,
This is a nice composition. BEautiful colours. You may have sharpned this a bit too much because I can see a very distinct white line aound the camels.
Sunil

Very interesting shot. Well composed, very well chosen gold/brown tones. And above all grains(or noise if you like) gives additional quality to this photo.

Wow! Magnificent light and beautiful colour, your work with the gradient from the upper part of the shot makes this pure magic!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Hi Noel

Love the grain in the sand & outstanding graphism of the silhouetted camel. Tfs!

The POV was already great... Adding that treatment in the light give a rich and dynamic final result... I know it's not there it come from... But the tones give the warm effect of a good Cappuccino in the morning! Photo but with a strong graphical result! :)

Beautiful, Noel!

Hello Noel,
A nice piece of art, well done!
Post processing and tones work very well, conveying the heat of the desert...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Now this is another shot where "noise" works extremely well! The noise you added to this is suberb! Very nice composition and the colors are fabulous!

hi Noel. nice composition and tones. love the grain effect. Tfs

Shogun

Good composition and silhouette. I wonder though why there is a white line around the camel? I like the grainy look of the scene from all that sand.

i like the movie style of composition and framing noel :)
the grains works very well
excellent tones :)
