Excellent statement. I'd like to see some higher image quality settings
though. The blobs of oil look like they have jagged edges, and the shadows
are grainy.

I agree with Thomas that a colored map might look nice. Although if you are
only printing in black and white then it might be pointless. It could also
have artistic implications, a vibrant growing Africa covered up in old
fashion oil corruption.

I really like the image
