What a beautiful picture, Henry. I find it hard with sunsets, sometimes they become more beautiful by the minute, and then you wait too long, but this is a great moment. I like the dark trees especially.

maciekda (19599) 2004-02-18 3:02

you have nice sunsets there in Africa, those cluds are really dramatic, the tree on the side nicely frames the picture, I'd prefer to see something alive there also, like a man or some flying birds ;-)
anyway, it is a nice shot

Outstanding colors and sky details. The trees are very well placed to avoid this to be just a classical sunset. The ground line going up on the right gives movement. Everything is in harmony here. Superb image.

Yes, it´s a really nice african sunset. I like the silhouettes of trees and contrast colours. It remids me colours from famous dutch painters (17th century). Well done Henry.

What a beautiful picture, Henry. I like the silhouettes of trees and contrast colours. I like of your pictures. Congratulations!

Mon seul regret sur cette photo c'est de ne pas en avoir une version panoramique avec la meme qualité que celle ci !

Bravo Henry !

We've seen our share of sunsets here on TE, but I have to say those from Africa are always incredible. What stuns me most about this one is all the detail and range of colors in the sky. I also like how you are showing the silhouette of this impressive tree on the left in its full height. A great shot, Henry.

Beautiful sunset, again, Henry. I like the depth of the sky and the amazing colors. I like the blue sky above, I am glad that you didn't crop it. Nice silhouettes of the trees. Well done, Henry.

lemon_logix (1054) 2004-02-18 4:20

such lovely sky. The tree on the left seems to curve to the right angle. Perfect!

Lovely sunset Henry. Love it, even though sunsets are not my cup of tea. The sky is fantastic here. Very well done. Very sharp too.

Midnight_sun (1939) 2004-02-18 5:22

Wow! Thats a great shot, the colours are so natural, i could imagine it been exactly like this. Really stunning, a favourite.

robbertjan (2906) 2004-02-18 5:25

Great balance and color. Very well shot. Bill

manny (21378) 2004-02-18 8:28

Everything here is beautiful. Beautiful colors (I like how the colors turn blue at the top). Beautiful composition and pesrpective (the use of the bigger silhouette on the left leads us to the amazing display of the sky). GREAT work.

cool_s15 (4050) 2004-02-18 8:50

Very beautiful sunset, Henry!
The clouds and the tree silhouette are really great. Very well-captured.

orme (6746) 2004-02-18 10:24

An excellent sunset, Henry. Amazing colours. I especially like the silhouettes of the trees and they way they add some perspective to the shot. Well captured.

marcind (222) 2004-02-18 11:56

By no means it's a impressive picture. Two lonely trees at the background of beautiful sky. I love the way how sun paints bottoms of clouds. Very beautiful!

carper (65768) 2004-02-18 13:25

Henry,
Ik weet dat alles al gezegd is. Ik had deze compositie vanmorgen al gezien. Hij is prachtig, schitterend en ik heb je trouwens bij mijn favorieten gezet. My compliments.

Rockyboy (20582) 2004-02-18 14:04

And this is a wonderful sunset! Colors are amazing and I like the strange tree on the left. Nice shot, Henry!

cecile (4193) 2004-02-18 14:53

très bel effet dans les nuages, le dégradé de couleur est très agréable. je trouve que le ciel et la terre on une bonne proportion

PLD_images (7143) 2004-02-18 16:07

Man what a shot. It leaves me speachless...

All the different colors, the composition with the dead tree, the angle. Everything is just perfect. A favorite...

gepall (1808) 2004-02-19 10:47

I dont think that you want comments for this breathtaking shot?
Words are trivial to this...

summer89 (5414) 2004-02-19 11:30

Great Sunset, Henry

Very cool Shadows and colors, the angle is great too.

Congratulations.

Oh - I never comment this one (I was on holiday :-) - Simply and beautiful sunset, specially the gold lining of the clouds - Very good work Henry.

(And yes - the colours of my sunrise are awsome ;-) and if I haven't experienced myself would I find them hard to beleive.

dominique (11414) 2004-03-15 14:56

Fantastic picture...nice capture of light and color. I find the close horizon interesting because most landscape pictures in Africa emphasize distance.

Superbe prise de vue. L'image d'une fin de journée bien paisible après probablement un combat pour la vie pour certain animaux de cette faune...
Bravo et merci du partage!
Luc.

timleahy (2189) 2006-01-18 19:09

Henry,

Wow! This is excellent! Fantastic range of colours in the sky. Also I like the composition, with the larger tree leaning towards the sunset, and meeting the smaller tree on the way.

Wonderful...
