    Very nice.

    I have seen some images of camel shadows shot from an ariel perspective that were great also. Can you capture more images of this type?

    Ok! I guess it is just the different angles of light that is confusing me. The shadows are coming toards the comera from the camels and to the right in the sand dunes in the back ground?

    That's an interesting observation. Note that the rate of change of the angles is consistent across the three camels. That is, if the camels shadow on the right is say 0 degrees, the camel in the middle is 45 degrees off of that, and the camel on the left is 90 degrees. So whatever causes the shadows to appear to lie differently is uniform across the picture. That gives credence to it being a natural phenomenon, although I'll be darned if I can figure it out. It may be an optical illusion caused by a change in slope of the sand. Or maybe the shadow is actually from light reflected off of the whiter sand in the back, and that surface is curved.

    Thanx Marc
    As I told you I edit it in Photoshop to get 3D in the photo because and as you know the area is flat without adding shadows and if the shadow equal to the camel shadow that will keep it flat again what is make it 3D is to have the shade in different and that what I did

    Hope you like it
