This National Geographic photo is called Larger Than Life. It took me awhile to make heads & tails of the photograph. It’s disorienting isn’t it?
I won’t spoil it, so I’ll leave it to you to figure why it’s unique…
Update: here’s the link to a bigger version of the shot.

Here’s a hint: it’s an arial photograph!

Their shadow doesn’t look right?

Basically, the guy shot from the air directly above the pack of camels. The sun is down south casting the black shadows of the camels on the sand.
So what looks like the camels themselves are really the shadows; the camels themselves are not readily visible because the photo is shot directly above the camels.
Cool, heh?

Wowww! the white things at the feet are the
real camels and the big black things are the
shadows. I am quite clumsy with
cameras/pictures so I would be the last
person to figure this out.

well, it took me awhile to figure it out too. Very unusual & dis-orienting…
