Walking into the sunset
I photographed this image in the Wild *** Sanctuary in the Little Rann of Kutch in India. The sanctuary is part of a massive area of monsoonal grasslands that turn into a land of dried cracked mud that seems endless. I have no idea how these animals survive.
I enhanced the sunset colors during the RAW conversion as well as using the red curve of the Curves control, plus deepened the blacks.
c & c most welcome.
Beautiful composition, Nancy! So quiet & solitary. Amazing rich color, especially that sky. Love the soft edges to on the sun & horizon and they contrast nicely with the sharp sillouette of what I'm guessing is a mule (not sure). Very well done!
Thank you! The animal is officially a wild a*s, but I see the BPN posting does not allow that word. So I guess the next best word is "donkey"
Love it Nancy,great colors and feel. It looks like the road is sloped, not sure if it needs a slight rotation still. The donkey w/ it's head down tells a nice story of the day being done...
Nancy, you can say a s s in this case, it's all in how you spell it!
I really like this one a lot. The sun balances the, um, animal nicely in the opposite corner of the frame. The colors and exposure are great and I love the sharpness of the, uh, horsey thing...

I really like the colors and the sun looks great. I also like the simplicity of the composition. Beautiful!
Nancy, this is a lovely comp, love the sun and just enough detail in the donkey. Very nicely done!
Wonderful composition, Nancy. It give the sense of solitary environment in the dry and bleak landscape. I did not realize you spent time at the sanctuary. Nicely done.
Nancy,
I love the simplicity and peacefulness of this image. It's beautiful as presented... I wouldn't touch a thing.

Thank you all! If you want to see what the "horse-y" thing looks like in the daylight, I posted an image in the Wildlife Forum. And my visit to the Gujurat state in India was wonderful.
