Sunset over India, a photo from Narayani, Central

Photographer's Note

Taken from the north bank of the Raptis River in southern Nepal. (Chitwan National Park at Sauhara.) Continuing the theme of looking from one country, into another: this time, Nepal into India.

Tourists are strongly advised not to cross the river at night, as tigers roam the forest on the other side. Forget about a night swim too. Marsh Muggers (the local euphenism for Crocodiles), inhabit these waters.

The blurred movement in the distance, is a farmer bringing his water buffalo back for the night.

Hello Chris,
Splendide image, j’adore ce genre de vue, les couleurs sont tout simplement incroyables !
Bien cadré, c’est rare un cadrage vertical pour ce type de vue !
Mais, là, c’est très efficace !
Beau travail
Amicalement Sébastien

Dear Chris,
A sunset but a completely mirror image, the splendid colours and two dark parts give a nice composition.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

Well, really you are a adult photograph and I am like a small baby photograph !!! Seing your sun set and thinking about my set rising of yesterday, I can see really the difference between one who knows and one who don't know anythink ;-) Great sun set with fantastic colors. I think one day I shall buy a tripod to progress, well, I will have to learn too about how to use it...... Thanks for this wonderful view. Have a nice week end.

Good use of layering and silhouettes, Chris. The reflections are a fine add and the vertical format is a good choice in the way it renders this staggered composition. Very nice, also in terms of the deep saturated colors.

Nice and warm colors for the sunset Chris, I like the long reflection of the sun in the water, nice nature shot, well done.

Tres belles teintes ici qui nous donne une bonne attirance a la photo.
Je regrette ce petit flou sur le premier plan.
Par conte le cadrage verical est tres interessant.
Bravo Jules
