    At the camels market in Cairo , Egypt. The place of old habits and traditions. I just liked the symmetrical shape which has been composed ,You can feel the dramatic connection between the butcher and camels by their roundness . they afraid of him .. Frankly , it's about the scary of the destiny turn

    Camel markets can be places of mixed feelings. Someone might not feel comfortable in this place and fear what is being done to the camels, but others see this as just a way of life. Here at Nat Geo we're always documenting cultures and places trying to understand what is going on. Nader, you captured a great environmental portrait. I love the idea you had of getting low with your composition. Also the hint of blood on the butchers clothes really adds another layer to the story. Nice work.
