[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After the rains - which does not occur often in the arid Kalahari of Botswana - the sky turns clear with a particularly deep blue. This sunset shot was taken in the Mabuasehube area of the Kgalagadi National Park.

Beautiful blue sunset Nico. This is nature at its best, and every day there is a different show. Amazing isn't it? TFS...

Very nice sunset, great colours and POV.
Well done.
I tried a small WS.
TFS.

Hi Nico
This really makes me want to pack-up and leave for the bush. We are scarcely back, and the call is already strong. I love sunsets, red or blue, and this one is nice, witht the frame created by the branches in front.
IMO, I would crop off about 1,5 cm on thebottom, this changes the frame slightly, and enhances the impact, I believe.

Good sunset Nico. The trees makes an interesting frame. Nice work

Dit is pragtig. As Callie said I want to be there. Beautiful sunset and you still managed to get that blue sky. I agree on the crop as well. Shave a bit of the bottom to give the frame more of a pan look. Well done.

Superbe paysage avec un dosage de lumière parfait. félicitation !

I love the colors in this, not the typical sunset colors. Very vivid blue contrasted with the yellowy orange sun, and the slight pink of the clouds. I think the horizon could be leveled just a bit, but then maybe I'm crooked? Well done, nice vibrant shot.
