Sunset on the Chobe River, Botswana

This was the last image I took in Botswana, a fine ending to two magical weeks in Africa.

I am off to the Arctic in the am. See you all when I return.

See you where there is light, or at the computer

This is beautiful Chas..

I love the low angle, did you get your elbows wet? Must have been close...

Charles, the image is well handled with good sun placement in relationship to the men on the boats. I like the fact I can see the outline of the men even though they are merging with the backround.
When posting I wouldn't put a frame with writing since it can be distracting...

Dave,

Appreciate your opinion. What may appear distracting to some, might also prove educational to others.
I received a number of e mails asking how I did the border and text effect.

Warm Regards,

Chas

I agree with Dave on the placement of the sun and men - just right. And with a bit of luck you got them with the sticks framing the sun.

Given the request for the "how you did the border and text effect" I think you should answer for all of us.

BTW, you NEVER fail to provide an image worth viewing more than once. TFS!!

Hey Chas,
Love the picture.....never been a fan of the frames although if you explain it when you get back......will give you a pass on it!:w3 I generally dislike things that take away from strong images.....as I want to see the image bigger!!! Very nicely done with this!

Chas - beautiful comp and color. Looking forward to seeing some from your Arctic trip.

TFS,
