Very lovely effect ! I like that you -didn't- crop out the woman because we'd still see a part of her arm/body or you'd loose the beautiful curve of the camel's head very nice capture!! :) I also love the tonal range you chose :)

very nice capture of light and shadow; focus is sharp, and the dappled light works very nicely in this B&W great job; the negative space created here is also very interesting to look at as well very artistic!
