Excellent photo Mital. The silhouettes work will the interesting colours of the sunset.

Mital,

You have a good eye. I like the inclusion of the large expanse of sky. Though you could probably shave a bit off the base and make a pano but I feel the 1/3 (shadow base) and 2/3 (sky) presents a good Rule of Thirds composition that works well with this subject.

The sillhouettes are all recognizable which is good. I would suggest that aiming the camera left some more would have better balanced the sun and the persons on the left. If the persons on the left were stading, that would be over the top. All in all a great image. Nice work.

Mital, this one may be my favorite of your camel images, very well presented and I love the daring positioning of the sun, different!

Mitalbhai, You had much too much fun in the desert. I think that Robert above meant "point the camera to the right (not left) some more as that was gonna be my only suggestions. You did a great job of taking advantage of a fabulous situation by using various focal lengths and making lots of different images.

Thanks Artie - I did mean right.

No sweat Robert. I did the exact same thing this morning on a thread and Axel caught it. Brain thinks one thing and fingers type another. It's a function of advancing age...

Hi Mital,
I think everyone above covered my suggestions and will only add......I would probably go with Robert on less base.....but it may be your black frame around the entire image is making that even more prominant....I think this would present better if you eliminated the frame entirely or had a very small one......but the image itself was nicely handled.
