5th Place (tie)
Urban Oasis

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

It was hot in Dubai when we were there, not uncomfortable but a wonderful relief from snowy Ankara. Taken at the Dubai camel racetrack.

Neat shot Helen; I really like that rather unusual reflection! By the way, I think good photography and patience go hand in hand ;-)

I must admire your and your husband's patience. The end result is woth taking even thousand shots. Keep it up!

Thank you for the comments! Zahid, I did nothing at all to the reflection -- that's the way it was in reality. But capturing it was something else -- trying to get it without obstructions in the water, too many camels, no cars in the background and so on... I must have taken at least a hundred images. Thank goodness my husband is a patient man, LOL. Helen

Very well captured reflection, Hellen. By the way, did you do any post processing work on refection or is it natural?

I love this capture,especially the reflection of the camels in the water! The color of the light and the shimmering of the reflection make it look like it's reallly hot there.
