   Hi Guys,

   Just thought I wold add my 2 cents to this Blog. It is a wonderful picture and is certainly valid.
   Obviously no-one (except me ) bothered to check the national geographic web site.

   as neat as it is in my opinion I personally think this is a composite! (can you say photoshop)

   Now why would I say something like that

   ok it is good job but look very closely

   look at the sun angles .. it changes between the camels (small changes and you might buy off on that) BUT

   look closer

   1) there are in fact TWO shadows of the camels… a very close one .. which could only be made with the sun high say 45 to 80 degrees … which matches with the back shoulders of the camel being lit up … And of course the added LARGE shadow which wold only be made if the sun was VERY LOW … . last I looked we don’t have 2 suns

   2) there is also one shadow with NO camel (If it is making that much shadow then it HAS to be receiving light…) yet he has other camels with shadows across them …

   3) look at the camel .. 2nd row from the bottom … 3rd camel from the left … it should have a shadow on it if the light blocking was that much to produce that shadow … sorry it has NOT shadow on it .. it should have one …

   there are other inconsistancies … can you see them?

   I think this was TWO pictures put together and yes it looks great but

   actually I would like to know if I am wrong but unfortuanately I don’t think so

   [...] Ok, maybe I should be asking what’s wrong with this post, more than the photo. In 63 replies, no one has mentioned that he’s using a very obviously copyrighted photo belonging to the National Geographic Society (NGS). Not only that, but he’s copied it to his own server, rather that posting a text link to where he found it, or to the NGS itself. And now it’s helping him earn money with all of the page views and the Goggle Ad Words. Wouldn’t that make it a commercial use since a revenue stream now is involved? What share of the income from his blog goes back to the photographer? None, I’ll bet. I’ll even bet that the same holds true as to whether he ever queried National Geographic about it’s use. More like – “Hey, Look what I found. It was on the internet, so it must be free and OK for me to use however I want.” At least he left the NGS logo intact. [...]
