    Very nice Pierre! I love the colors. I might consider increasing the black point, to make the silhouettes really pure black. Especially on the right there is some color spillover from the sunlight.

    It is lovely! I too would increase the black point and enhance the fishermen. I would also eliminate the dot in the water to the right of the entering river and the boat further to the right. Finally I think it needs a bit of CW.
    Cheers, Jay

    Top notch sunset, you people in Africa are blessed with these it seems.
    Agree on punching up the men, but I like the definition in the FG.
    It appears level to me.

    Pierre,

    Any darkening of the men and BG silhouettes will require you mask out the affect in the FG. The level of detail there is just right IMO and you don't want to lose that. CW rotation needed as mentioned. Well seen and executed image.

    I concur with Roger here, Pierre! Lovely mood, just right for me...perhaps just implement Jay's CW rotation and you're all set for a COM in thed local camera club

    Hi Pierre,
    For me all you need is a little bit of rotation and this is perfect.
    Well done and thanks for sharing,
    Mark.
