6. That Is An Outstanding Picture

I was scratching my head for a moment because the first thing that struck me was how two-dimensional the camels all were, plus they were too tall and distorted -- then I read the caption, instantly changing me from a skeptic to being in awe. I will say that the white line at the top of the camel's legs appearing directly above the word "taken" presents a problem because it seems a shadow should be cast on this camel and perhaps it is cast on the side of the camel, where it cannot be seen, but not on the top of the camel. But if that is the case the shadow of the one camel should have been distorted but it isn't. On second thought, I am a bit of a skeptic but concede there could be a simple explanation.
