A simple, beautiful graphic image! Love the color. Well done!
Hi Jaapv,
Wonderful large view of the sun over Lake Nyasa!
Well composed and presented!
Did you use an IR cut filter of some kind or was it just an ND, or no filter?
I’m curious because the water seems to be reflecting more of a taupe color.
I’m just trying to learn, I wish I had explored various parts of Africa when I was younger.
Awesome image! 
Thanks for the nice comments. No filter was used, nor was there colour manipulation in PS.
Hi Jaapv,
Thanks for the response, I wasn’t purposely implying that you had manipulated the image in some way. Sorry for asking!!
Not at all, I use PS all the time to optimize my images - I don’t see it as “manipulating” in a negative sense but as the second half of creating an image.
Jaapv,
Ditton on Steve’s comments - simple, yet bold and impressive.
I just captured something similar - but at 300mm, you don’t get the same impact…

This is a powerful image. Just like the flag of Japan.
