5.48p.m.- This is the bridge that link the town centre of Bandar Seri Begawan with Kiulap which is separated by the Kedayan River. Kiulap is fast becoming a busy business centre after Gadong as shophouses are fast sprouting all over the area. The frequent traffic jams as one passes this area is an indicator of its popularity among shoppers. It is not only accessible by road as residents of the water villages are able to reach this place by using the water taxis too.
This shot was taken just after the sun went down. While the sky was slowly turning orange the colours along the river bank were still visible creating an unusual colour effect.

PP – cropped to my favourite square format, adjusted level and USM.

Great shot.The colours are bit different but i like it.

Very good!

Hi Aloysius,
Surface of the river captured with great skill! Reflections, ripples and texture of the water is quite awesome... I like your composition, with movement in opposite directions... The blue car on the bridge adds some extra spice here... Well done!
Regards,
Pablo

Good moment in this square picture, offering a good environment for this interesting boat.
A special negative light on the scene..
I like it

Hello Aloysius,
Good coverage of many thing in a single image. I like the perfection of this entire image specially the green water color and reflection of boat. Clouds are also giving sincere appearance and reflecting into water to prove that they are original.
Thanks

Hi Aloysius,
You have here a great capture with a boat in motion and with your favourite square format. I like the moment and your great composition that is so well done with the bridge and the car also in motion. If you don't mind and you are a free open mind, I will show my personal view without any bad critique to your fine picture, that is absolutely good. My WS's are my opinion and I think that the bridge and the cropped lampshots are a few disturbing. So I'm cropping something to show another vision. Sincereally I don't like to do WS's because what prevails is your heart work that is great and mine is a complementary view without making the capture. I hope you also like.

Thanks in advance and say what is your opinion to my view, because moments are moments, and we must shot.

Congratulations and a fine work you did. Friendly yours and allways with your great and nice work.

The best to you.
Fernando

Hi Aloysius,
Very nice shot, excellent capture with three elements together, in foreground the speedboat with excellent reflections, the bridge and small truck but a very spectacular sky through the cloudy sky, excellent composition and soft colours.
Best regards,
John.

Hi Aloysius,
very nice view, interesting bridge. Good place on boat in photo, good composition. I like the colours, also. Well done.

Hi Aloysius, A nice action shot of the moving boat crossing under the bridge. A beautiful color contrast between the water and the sky with the city in the between.

hi aloysius, this is an amazing image - unbelievable colours, never seen such tonalty, it cannot be only the sky that causes the colours look so increadibly, it must be also some effect deriving from the water;
very interesting,
jerzy

Hi Aloysius,
Excellent composition with great framing! The colours and the lighting are fantastic. Very well done!

Regards John

Hello Alosyus,
The exposition is great,
very nice mixture of urbanity and some receding nature, I like the way this image is cut into different planes.
Well done
Regards
Daniel

Hi Aloysius,
This is a great picture. Maybe I better can say 2 great pictures. The upper part and the lower part are unique pictures by their own.
Maybe you should have split it.
Great work.

Hi Aloysius
Wonderful place and activities. The sun setting, at 5.48pm, is really toooo early, man, have given a cool backdrop for this image.
But I prefer the image to be allowed more space to the right to show the rest of the bridge and the river and also allowing more sun setting mode in it.
Excellent sharpness and clarity, Aloysius.
Well done.
Eric Lai

Hi Aloysius. What an awesome shot this is. If I didn't know any better I would assume this was a painting! Everything is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. Most impressive shot Aloysius!!

Hi Aloysius, nice capture with the boat passing by. The lighting during that time is really unusual.

Hi Aloysius,
Wow, I really like the large format and dynamics of this shot. The pervasive green tinge to the photo really is quite alluring and blends well with the colour of the boat. The reflections are also most enhancing. There are two distinct scenes and one can enjoy the view above the bridge as an entirely different world. Very well captured at the decisive moment.

The light and the colors are almost unreal ! Well composed.
Stéphane

Fabulous, Aloysius!
Great multielemented composition and beautiful colours. Well captured. The colours look so luminous on my screen.
Congratulations on this one,
Andrew.

PS. I know the two workshop versions by Galmeida were done with good intentions, and they do show other possibilities as to how this could have also been two separate shots, but I don't think anything can be done to match or surpass this glorious image of yours.

Hello Alyho, Good everyday scene from this Brunei river. Well cropped with the boat left of centr which is good. Reflections are clear, itt seems a strange green colour is there an explanation for that? TFS. Murray.
