Excellent. Like the composition, the camel bokeh, and vignetting to good effect.

There are so many good photos that don't fit the theme for one reason or another. This guy just pops off the page in an almost 3D effect, is an actual portrait and is very likely to be a stranger picked on for the shot. It wasn't taken last month but has so many great things I just had to nominate it! I would ask why shoot so open in the desert, but the bokeh on this speaks for itself, as does the pop!

P.s My wife loves camels (she obviously has never met one).
