What makes this composition unique are the objects in it. There are two objects that are worlds apart, but this photo captures them together. The sea going vessel is beached in what looks like a desert while a camel walks by on the left half of the photo. The connection made by complete opposite terrains is what makes the photo intriguing. The vessel obviously in a body of water, and it seems it was ran aground in a shallow section that has since evaporated. The camel which is usually seen in deep desert area is now on this somewhat desert like, dry, and sandy terrain. This leaves viewers curious, trying to figure out the chronology of the situation, and making it even more interesting is the lack of other context. The combination of a sea vessel and a sand trekking animal such as the camel is a very intriguing mix of two opposite worlds.
