Hello, Joseph

Welcome back. Well, I see that you are into different subjects. When I look at your image, I can see that it is quite in focus. There is a nice shallow depth of field. This is usually working very fire in portraiture. However, in this case I think I would have preferred to see the camel from a more distant standpoint. Here are my reasons. It's right eye is less in shadow, but still not very clearly captured. The left eye is Morin the shadow. As it is taken from a straight view the nose and mouth occupy a large space. The scope of the mouth is interesting, but as a whole the animal looks squeezed into the frame.it is actually quiet big and it would have been great to see it more with this expression in connection with its surroundings. Then I normally leaving little space above the head in portrait photography is something we prefer. However, here as I am straight opposite the animal, and the eyes are too close to the upper part of the frame, it does not look so appealing.it would have worked had the image bea taken from a plane that was above the camel. These are what I think of course. You might be thinking differently. Have good light. Cicek Kiral

Here is the original uncropped version for some crop ideas. I would of course clean up the grass in the mouth as I had in the original.
