About the Photo
This image was taken at Pushkar Camel Fair, in Rajasthan, India. Pushkar camel fair is one of the largest camel fairs in the world. Camel traders from different parts of Rajasthan and also from adjacent states come here to sell and buy their pet camels. Thousands of camels fill up the fairground, which has an area of several square kilometers.Tourists and photographers from all over India and also from many countries of the world come here to enjoy thisfamous camel fair.In this image, the camel traders are coming to the fairground through a sandy path along with the camel herd. Two men are walking in front of the camel herd and two are in the back to control the camels. They all are wearing traditional Rajasthani dresses.While they are coming through the sandy path, sand is blowing in the air, as the camels legs are hitting the sandy ground. Falling sunlight on the blowing sand adds extra effect to the image.Camel trading is a part of culture in rural Rajasthan.Through this image we can find and feel their culture.
Xpert judge Ashvin Ghisyawan about the winning photo.
This photo is the winner for me. Besides seeing a lot of culture, this one also looks nice. Regarding composition, the story with the camels continues in the background. The shepherds are especially noticeable because of their clothing and it is special to see how much tranquility the photo radiates. I also find it interesting to see that some camels are decorated with a cloth or wreath. That makes the photo extra vivid. I am very curious where this photo was taken.

The famous one-legged fishermen, Inle Lake, Birma
This photo was taken on the inle lake in Burma. The famous one-legged fishermen fish this way and some only do it for the tourists. I had already photographed these men in the morning and then asked them to come back in the evening at sunset. That way I could photograph them quietly during the sunset because I had rented a boat for my wife and myself and a tip for the fishermen and the boatsman did the rest.
