Photographer's Note
Life is about moments and they would simply pass by if we are not able to capture them in time. We are not just taking pitures but are also helping to capture those moments with our hearts and passion to last forever. Seeing a cloud is like being apart of a wakeful dream for me. I was alone on location very early just observing the activity in the sky. Clouds grow and always changing very fast and disappearing into visible vapour and then reappearing in visible forms then lit in various stunning colours through the late afternoon.
Sometimes clouds take on the balmy colors of sunset, shimmering gold and pink, while other times they are jagged in the sky. Sometimes clouds can dance and sometimes they just rest and each cloudscape is so unique and there is even more drama as the sun gets lower.
But one thing is for sure, clouds are sure to steal the show and worth savoring, because the beauty of the fleeting moment is beyond description - Nature's best gift to mankind.
So this is nature's 'now you see it, now you dont' magic act.......

Hello,
this is not just any sunset - the structure of the clouds is almost 3D! The light and colors are just unbelievable. The dark shapes of island in the shore make nice add on.

Ciao Abmdsudi
i tuoi tramonto indonesiani sono ormai mitici, sia che li abbia ripresi nell'Isola di Timor, o altrove, ma sempre ricchi di colore e ricchi di incanto.
Anche in questa il sole disegna meraviglie nel cielo, tra nuvole tempestose, squarci d'azzurro e raggi dorati che si vanno a tuffare nell'acqua.
Una delle tante meraviglie dell'Indonesia del quale tu sei un ottimo ambasciatore.
Ciao e buon inizio di settimana
Romano

Hello Abmdsudi,
living in a quiet place with vast views to the open sea, I absolutely share your view of the clouds and of how they constantly transform the setting and affect our mood. The ephemeral spectacle you captured in this occasion is magnificent. The complexity and dynamism of the patterns, the richness of the colours and the suggestiveness of the atmosphere are exquisite. Although you've given a very small part of the frame to the tranquil seascape, it looks vast too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hello Abmdsudi,
I wrote in my last comment of your photo,that was one of the most beautiful sunsets I´ve ever seen and now you´re posting something like this-and what should I write now?:)this is so marvelous and beautiful,that it´s hard to find other,maybe not so hackneyed words to describe the beauty of this scene.Love these warm and soft colors so beautifully illuminating the sky and such amazing cloud formations.
It´s all about moments we want to keep forever and immortalize them with our cameras.You described this feeling perfectly in your note.I agree with you in 100%.
Excellently composed and executed.My Compliments!
Kind regards

Sam sunrise from yesterday's shot, Abmdsudi - I recognize those beautiful clouds - but even more vibrant and incredible color. The way the orange light spills across the sky is amazing - you caught this at a perfect moment (though I'd imagine there were several perfect moments in a row here). The lone boat adds scale and wonder to the scene - imagine being out for daily work and seeing this unfold before your eyes...

You have endlessly crafted beautiful skies with exotic colors that I envy from your uploads. The moment was well capitalized and recorded well on your CMOS sensor. The cloud formation and colors can never be repeated and thanks my friend for this fine shot.
Have a nice day,

Hi Abmdsudi,
You're capturing well this nature scene by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the amazing sky's face with various colors and cloud's shape. I also like to see the expression of the sky which changes every moment. And, the peninsula with silhouette in the distance draws out an additional good mood in this image as well as the sea dyed the setting sun.
Kind regards,
mikio

hi Abmdsudi,
When I see a stunning capture of a sunset like this, I cannot help but think of the SDalvador Dali painting of Christ of St John on the cross. Not because of any religious subject matter, but because of the connection between the amazing fluid sky. Your capture has so much more colour than that painting, but it also has the same sense of mood> Really nicely done.
All the best
Noel

Hello Abmdsudi,
i don't know if the clouds take the most fabulous shapes in the Nusa Tenggara region, or if the colours of the sunsets are the most spectacular in that area, or if it is you who manage better than most to use the clouds and colours to produce little masterpieces of art. I think it is a little of everything. This is magnificent, and actually the contours of the distant island are not bad either.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Abmdsudi.
The sky is really fascinating, with such a wide range of colors, from blue-gray to the orange, the color cast beautifully illuminates the surface of the sea, the coast line is shaping up in the distance gives great DOF to composition.
Ideal brightness and sharpness.
Very well done. I love it.
Enjoy the weekend.
Best wishes.

Hello Abmdsudi - Please forgive my late comment on this shot, time seems to slip through my fingers at the moment. The moment I saw this it reminded me of Turner's fantastic paintings; the warm colours just explode from behind the land and tint the undersides of the radiating clouds beautifully. Breathtaking shot of nature at her most amazing. Warm regards Rosemary
