That is so awesome. Imagine if they were giraffes, or the two hump camels!

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. |

What you say is true. If he worked the situation to make the best of it, then that is not really serendipity, that's what a creative photographer does. If he was paragliding around with a camera and came upon this site and snapped it, that's less creative in my estimation. I didn't see a link to how it actually happened so I'm still not sure.
