Congratulations Stuart Bowie
Silhouette Sunrise

Africa at its best. I went to visit my good mate Gerrie in the Pilanesberg nature reserve yesterday. I arrived at the hide as the sun was rising over the hills in the BG. There was mist, and hippo's playing in the FG. You can see two of them amongst the reflection of the trees. I added a filter in PS to create this mood. I decided not to sharpen the image at all.
