    Every trip to the Masai Mara in Kenya isn't complete without an Acacia sunset.
    The landscape really lends itself to them.
    Here's my contribution:

    Marc,

    I like this just as you presented it. I like that you framed the sun under the arcing tree, I like the large dark base, I love the blue and the sky's translation from warm to cold colors. I like the framing left to right. Well done.

    Thanks for providing critiques on many previous posts. Your contributions are appreciated.

    Hi Marc, Agree with Robert. Well handled image. Beautiful silhouette and sun placement. This would also look strong as a pano taking about a third off the bottom and a small bit off the top. Well done!

    Hey Marc,
    I often like pano crops.....so Dave's suggestion would work for me too.....but this is very nicely done as presented! Great job with the sun.....not the easiest thing to do!

    The first thing that grabs me is the color combination-really pops. Overall framing as stated above is excellent.

    Hi Marc, I agree with the previously mentioned comments. A wonderful image - love the colors and the silhouetted tree. Beautiful work!

    Marc I like how you stuck to the rule of thirds here and the colour contrasts are wonderful. Was it raining? Images like these always enforce my need to someday get to the vast plains of Kenya and Tanzania

    Marc,

    Very effective and to my eyes very different, great as is but it would make a really good pano.
