Marc, lovely setting, and I like the comp. Im undecided about the sun - the main part is just to blown, and I am wondering if you removed it, it wouldnt spoil this at all. The alternative is to do some sun doctor on it. Otherwise, great sighting, and each image you post of your Botswana trip, makes me wanna go for a visit.

Thanks Stuart & Harshad.
This was the dilemma I faced, taking the sun down too much and you have no image??
Repost here with a slight Gaussian on BG and reduced exposure by 3/4 stop on sky.

Personally I like the original post. Beautiful African scenic and I love the composition. Agree about the comments on the sun but still beautifully captured and I am not sure how that could be corrected. Would love to hear other comments.

Another vote for the original. It draws you in faster and of course brings the scene closer.
