Niger sunset,
two fishermen,
the end of a perfect day
- Ségou


Ségou is a city in south-central Mali, lying 235 kilometres northeast of Bamako on the River Niger. It was founded by the Bozo people in 1620, on a site about 10 kilometres from the present town. With 100,000 inhabitants, it is now the third largest city in Mali.

Hi benny
Very beautifull light on the river; The shadows of the boats are very beautifull.
Really amazing
Bertrand

Wow!

What more do I have to say Benny? This is just a great picture. You have taken this at a perfect time with the sun setting. This gives a great reflection on the lake. In my opinion, you couldn't of positioned these two boats better!

Quite Fantastic!

hello Benny,
beautiful minimalist shot, I find that the almost perfect symmetry works well to emphasise calm and peaceful evening, I like it a lot. the dark silhouettes look like drawings making the scene elegant and even delicate, it reminds me a little of Japanese paintings. excellent work, my compliments.

with best regards,
Kristine

Bonjour Benny
Très belle vue de la rivière
Belle composition et lumière magnifique.
Bonne technique pour trouver l'exposotion correcte.
Merci
Georges

Wow!! Good timing!! I have taken many sun set photos and understood how difficult to catch the right moment, since at such position, "he" goes down so quickly. I like the half sun and the reflection. However, I would prefer the sun in either side of the photo, instead of the middle :D

Such a beautiful picture! A nice atmosphere comes through here...lovely! Congrats,

Léonie
