And so the sun set on Africa.
This image only gets posted because of the overall mood of the shot. Liked the rays, the colors of the clouds in the water and the overall dramatic sky.
Disliked the noisyness and overall poor image quality. Not as crisp and clear as I normally appreciate my images.

I have a suspision that the Freewell variable ND filters does not perform up to standard. Some color cast noticed, and generally the dynamic range not quite as crisp as without filters.(but i will have to test that out further) I now wished I had a chance to take the filter off...........

Image captured with a Mavic Pro 2.
1 Opened up shadows in Lightroom.
2 Pulled back the highlights LR
3 Noise reduction overall, but mostly in the foreground. (shadow areas)
4 Cloned out a double story house that was pulling the eye too much, in the right hand side of the image.
5 Lightened the sunrays up a tad to make them slightly more visable.
6 The dreaded resizing to be able to post on websites. (Huge problem for image quality and overall detail)

Thats it folks. Harsh criticisms always welcome as always. Honest tips and thoughts appreciated.
