Malagassy Sunset

These extraordinary trees are called baobabs, and they can be found on

the island of Madagascar. To show the remarkable shape of the trees, I

decided to shoot them as a silhouette against the fiery sky, just

after sunset. I had to stand in the swamp to get into the right

position in order to get as much separation of the trees as possible

and to show a little of their reflection on the water.

 

Your comments are appreciated as always.

Great shot - they look really majestic. Great light and colours - and above all the darkness with the reflection.

Great shot, wonderful colours! Congratulations!

Reminds me of a Art Wolfe image I recently saw in a Outdoor Photographer magazine. Great shot

This is great! Looks so real and unreal in the same time, like in a dream!

Sweet! Excellent composition and exposure. The layering of colors in the sky adds a lot of drama too. Have to say that you did a great job with the framing and spacing of the bao-babs too; I'll bet that took some finagling in the swamp. Superb work! Cheers! Chris

brings me wonderful memories of Madagascar. Very good colors and lights. A large photo. Greetings.

Lovely shot Marsel.

If I had taken this I would have automatically (habit) have cropped at the base of the trees. I think your inclusion of the lighter foreground has added a new dimension.

Cheers Mark
