wonderful light, though the white parts seem to be slightly burnt. did you use a tripod ?
thanks for sharing this intense picture of Africa's largest country, hardly explored on trekearth !

The small circle of light to the right distracts my eye a bit, but again, Alex, there is such a powerful and emotional impact from your point of view, your eye.

Good job under difficult conditions. I like the scale of the woman in the scene...she seems so fragile and maybe weary.

You could either get rid of the lens flare or leave it in...I think it is a matter of personal preference.

Great Job.
Aloha, JB

Хай, Алекс,
Много видел твоих фоток из Нигерии, а на этой вдруг представил звуки, которые в это время могут сопровождать:стрекочут насекомые, шуршат мелкие зверьки, гудит трансформатор, кто-то где-то поёт. Так везде южнее какой-то параллели.
Всего самого...
Серёга.

you should be so lucky...
probably after some moments Nigerian Traditional Darkness comes :)
good composition and good moment...
