6.27 pm. – I want you to enjoy and be entertained by this dance of the Fans as a finale of the sunset scenes at the Jubilee Park. The cool breeze was blowing and the palm leaves swaying to and fro in graceful movement against a colourfully painted backdrop. What a great place for an evening stroll, a jog round the park or just to unwind after a hard day’s work.

Very well seen Aloysius - such dramatic and graphic silhouettes of the palms against the beautiful sky. They do indeed look very graceful and I like your title very much! Well done - a strong and attractive image.

nicely captured shot!! weel done..

Hi Aloysius,
Clever title. The silhouettes are really quite interesting, and so are the towers in the background. I prefer the horizon a little lower as there's so few details visible at the lower part. But good anyway.

Hi Aloysius
What a superb silhouttes. Marvellously captured amid the sunset. Cool framing, too.
6.27pm. Malaysia is just very close to Brunei. But the time different is so far away.
At 6.27pm, here in Malaysia is still broad daylight, until about 7.45pm when the sun is setting and the night take place.
What a gap!
Cheers and good day, Aloysius.

Hi Aloysius,
A romantic and alluring scene. The fans do indeed seem to be dancing, as if there are humans lying below manipulating the stalks in the wind. The silhouettes are outstanding and of course the sky on fire. This is truly a wonderful capture. Well done. A perfect start to a cool day over here in a northern climate...You have warmed me up!
John

Hi Aloysius,
the silhouettes of the palms against the sunset sky look so special.
Really nice capture.
Nino

Hi Aloysius. What a strong and impressive sunset shot. The silhouettes are incredible. The contrast is as good as it gets. Congrats on this fine shot!!

Hi Aloysius,
A really very enjoyable and beautiful picture. The leaves silhouettes worked great against the sky with stunning colors.
My regards,
Ricardo

Hi Aloysius,
Lovely Black&Orange composition. Reminds me of the Wayang-theater from Indonesia.
Excellent work.

Hi Aloysius,
The title fits so welll with this splendid sunset moment and dance of the palm leaves in silhouettes looking for this beautiful golden-orange sky. Good handling of light with so good dark contrast. Fine colors and sharpness. Very well seen and composed. Congratulations and have a nice weekend.

Best Regards.
Fernando
