		| | Sky colors feel a bit flat. It seems as though that much sun would reflect on the clouds a little more. |

		| | The sun setting in the back almost looks like an explosion. Nice shot.

		| | wow, love the colors. The sihlouette of the palm on the right is really effective. I think you might run into some problem with voters about 'late' night since the sun is still visible but nevertheless its a really pretty shot. |

		| | Very pretty colors in the sky, and a somewhat attractive skyline.  The sun makes me think that this isn't very late at night, though.  Also, the skyline seems very slightly high on the image. 
 Update: Okay, so it's not a sun, but a gas flare.  The arrangement, particularly with the lights in the clouds behind it, make it look like a sunset scene, however, which still leaves me *feeling* like it doesn't really fit the challenge, possibly because I can't get over my first impression now.  A title change noting that it is not a sunset might have changed that feeling to a sense of wonder about what exactly is being looked at (e.g. "In Africa, This Is Not a Sunset").  The current title, by blending "today"/"tonight", actively encourages the misinterpretation as a sunset.

		| | Nice range here.  The black forefround brings eyes to correct part of photo. |

		| | It's a bit dark. And I think that a bit off the challenge topic. I don't know anywhere in Africa where the sun sets late night, not even Cape Town in the middle of summer. |

		| | Nice.  Blues seem a bit strong.  Focus seems off.  Would of felt better if only the palm was silhouetted. 7 |
