Note: Mongolian nomads move seasonally by following a pattern of pastures and settlements. They use animals like horses, camels, and yaks for transportation and move their belongings in a portable home called a ger. Here's how they move: Pack and dismantle the ger on the move day, the family packs their belongings and dismantles the ger. They load the ger onto pack animals or a truck and move to their destination.

Nice photo it really captures life. POV is good and I also like the crop. Excellent Photo. Posted: 11/12/2024 18:37:23
A very nice image that shows us some of the culture of the Mongolian people. I would like you to zoom in a little closer to the people without scaring them from doing what they are doing. Posted: 11/18/2024 13:23:03
Very balanced image and excellent photo travel shot. The yellow wheel in front is an additional eye catcher. Small nit: the rope flying in front of the man's head expresses the action of packing the camel but is obstructing him. Posted: 11/18/2024 14:15:25
This is an excellent image. I like the little girl on the right - it adds to the interest of the overall image. The two men packing the camel really stand out, which is what you want. Good work!
