A little come back to my dear Mali. This picture have a sense in all the pictures that I have took from Mali (you can see the theme: A Mali treck). i have done a sail on a canoe on the River Niger. may be, for me, it has been the greatest travel experience.

Here I was approaching this little island with an enormeus tree in the delta du Niger, near Mopti, one of the mains cities of Mali.

Opened a duplicate layer, and darkened overall and added contrast. Then, erased lighter parts of the water, and the boat and boatman. Compressed layers, and then opened another layer. Darkened overall, and then erased from middle out to create slight vignette. Dodged areas of boat and clouds to increase contrast. Burned in darker areas of tree reflection to bring it out a little more.

Thanks for a great image to play with Javier!
