this is wonderful – the tones are just perfect for this and the composition is excellent and the camels add that finishing touch.

With the camels resting there, it shows how grand this place is… otherwise, I woul have thought that it was much smaller of a place…
Great capture… Great work… Love it.

I visited recently and the scale of this awesome place makes it humbling to attempt capture (with any equipment!) – you have done an absolutely fantastic job! the detail, clarity and composition are all exceptional – great work!

Eyal Nahmias, 4 months ago

A well composed and sepia toned image. the pov from behind the rock, creates wonderful perspective and sense of depth and dimension. The camels adds to the place attraction and allure. A wonderful addition to the Art of the Middle East group.
