This is THE quintessential image of East Africa. What all photographers who go there hope for and few manage to capture. You have done it very well. I might back off a bit on the saturation, but it's still beautiful.

Boy, if this isn't the ultimate iconic African shot, I don,t know what is. Just outstanding!

Outstanding in every way! An alternative composition might be a pano cropping out the top 1/3 of the image.

Really nice treatment. I like it as posted, but have to admit that I, too (as mentioned by David), think it might be even nicer without the top dark cloud. Subjective, but worth looking at that way!
