    This is very well done - blissful indeed. I like the 'rollercoaster' lines of the foreground and the placement of the sun is just perfect for me.

    Too much exposure on the gemsbok, too little, or just right? I think you are just about right, but I find it such a tough decision with shots like this.

    Are you not going to try an HDR with this one? :-)

    Hi Morkel

    I really like this. The compositions works very well, the colours are beautiful and there is just the right amount of detail within the subjects. The 'mackeral' sky adds a nice touch. You might like to try a version without the setting sun, as I find your eye being drawn to it, rather than the subject.:)

    Hi Morkel

    This is very nice and different to the normal images we see. I might crop some from the right if it were mine.

    Cheers
