This must be an interesting experience to live. I think this is a nice picture, well exposed and composed. I especially like this sky :) Thanks,

Hello, Michael.

A very nice picture indeed. You did very well to keep out cars and mobile 'phones and suchlike - I seem to remember that miles of Ben Hur footage had to be retaken because someone was wearing a wrist-watch in one of the scenes!

I've been looking at some of your similar pictures on TE - I hope to see more steam trains on this site from you!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Michael,
Your picture is an observational one: no specific subject in the centre. That were my thoughts when i watched it a long time. Is that a weakness or a strenght? I don't know. Later om i decided that the people on the right are the centre of your picture. In that case, the image is too big.
Technically the picture is very okay.
Conclusive: i think you want to show two important things: the people and the terrain with tents. I think it would be better to have concentrate on the first object, it's interesting enough by posture, clothing, etc.
Greets,
Ruut

An odd comment there about the subject not being central!! IMO they really couldn't be anywhere else as you wanted to show the encampment and you certainly don't want a large empty space behind the subjects so maybe a closer crop to the right. Otherwise an excellent image even if you did take the easy way out and photograph with the sun behind you while stalwarts like me were working into the sun. LOL.
