In any case, that is an awesome photo and deserves a prize ...though I would give a different prize/recognition to this kind of serendipitous photo where somebody happens to be at the right place at the right time vs. a more active creative process.

I wouldn't say it was serendipitous. He knew the camels were there. Could have just taken the shot on the ground like everybody else, but instead he got into a paraglider, flew over the camels, and then snapped it. Serendipity rarely makes great photographs. You also need the photographic skill to take advantage of that serendipity.
