I took this photo in Egypt. The pyramids that you can see through the camel's legs are those of Khufu (Cheops) and Khefren. The colourful decoration of the camel separates it from the yellowish background of the desert.

This picture immediately draws my attention to the backpack on the camel. With the pymarids in the back to show the height of the camel gives it an element of attention that is well deserved. The other camel is a slight distraction, for this challenge. However the picture holds it own!

Interesting perspective.
As the photo is currently composed the colorful saddle doesn't reach out and impact me. Perhaps it's because it's against a blue sky. Perhaps it's because I'm interested in the pyramids in the background. In a challenge about color, you really have to isolate and highlight the colors.
Hum... a headless camel. *DQ for cloning out a major element (the head) I am only kidding, but it does distract a little from the camel's color... I also think the pyramids beside rather then beneath the camel would have been better.
I like the fact that the camel is the subject and the colorful saddle offsets it. Got a (9) from me. I would have liked to see a bit more contrast to this to bring out the colors more, but I think the uniqueness of this subject matter is great!
