the camel shots are wonderful. but i'd have preferred a tighter crop. make it 5 camel shadows. odd numbers often work best.

Thanks for the comments ...
Thanks for the odd number theory ... Interesting read on those websites ....

[Michael]

It's not actually a theory. It just so happened that since artists in the past have started out with the number 3, forming a triangle, such order has gone to photography and stuck there.

Ok ... Here is something for a lazy wet afternoon ...
Nothing to do  ... didn't go out to shoot ... so stayed at home to do post-processing ....

Here is a series of people and their work / working environment ....

#1 - Olive Seller



#2 - Dried Fruits



#3 - Sharpening Knives



#4 - Delivery



#5 - Norgart Seller



Please feel free to comment .... Good or Bad ... or Getting boring already ...

I like number 3 for the people series, just thinking it'd look better if cropped tighter.
