Rules are made to be broken. What is most important is the adorable expression of the camel's face. Well done, no matter which version, as they are both wonderful in their own way.

Even though I generally see in B&W, my first reaction on seeing the B&W version (saw first) was that I wished for more visual weight on the camel. Because of the color of the fabric, I think this works better.
Today I'm breaking an unbreakable rule; "never post more than one version of a shot". I blame it on my wife who scolds me for sacrificing the colors of the carpet in order to get that dark sky & white clouds. Open for points of views . . .
