Tafika Sun-cloud burst

[Marc Mol]

Taken near Tafika Lodge in the South Luangwa Nat Park- Zambia.
I couldn't wait any longer on this shot, as the cloud (and sun) were sinking lower into the tree.

I like this Marc. I like the backlite cloud. I like the FG silhouette on the bottom - not too much or too little, good framing of the tree and cloud. I like the cloud in the upper right - helps to balance the image.

What I wish for was the tree and the cloud not to be touching.

I echo what Robert said. That's a superbly lit image. Beautiful color and interesting comp.

Hey Marc,
May have been impossible to get the cloud not touching the tree. I might be tempted for a bit of tree/branch removal on the lower right..........but not that critical. Overall, I agree with Robert's assesment that this was composed very nicely.

I really like the 3 corners being framed. Really well done. Only nit is the touching silhouette and cloud but it seems you couldn't help that. Very nice image, nonetheless.
