Thank you for your visits and comments on Into the sun.
Nothing to beat the quiet and tranquility of the African bush just after sunset. I savored the moment and was tempted to capture these stark silhouettes. I adjusted lighting and contrast afterwards, that's all, no color adjustment. I hope you enjoy it too.
