Hi Bill, I congratulate you by the 89th!

the best thing of this photo is the light, is excellent, lives and with brightness. The chromatic force of the sky and the palms contrasts with the rest of the image and must be able attractive line of vision. Great POV and elaborated composition.

Salut and best regards, Jordi

Hi Bill,
The lovely blue sky with its wispy clouds contrast wonderfully with the lush green palms that are seen in remarable details and sharpness. The rush hour traffice gives this image a warm busy feel.

Hello Bill,

What a beautiful hometown, there is plenty of greenery which is good to see. I like the green saturations in the palm fronds; all too often foliage can be dark and unnatural but here it is accurately captured. The people in this photo give the scene a liveliness as they all seem to be enjoying the beautiful weather. It seems to be a wonderful environment to live, work and play in. Your fame is excellent, it is creative but not overdone that it would distract from the scene. Great job, hope to travel here someday.

Hello Bill,
I think your style become more and more good. I hadn't time for TrekEarth in the last months, but now I discover again your gallery and there are some very good pictures. I like the sence of city life in this one. The light seems a bit too bright, I saw in the note that picture is taken in the morning and I just suppose that because of the latitude of your country the light conditions are more diifficult.
Greetings from Bulgaria

Hello Bill,
J’aimerais beaucoup voir en Belgique les rues agrémentées de jolis palmiers comme chez vous !
Hélas, ce n’est pas le même climat ici :o(
En tout cas, très bon point de vue et très belles couleurs,
Bien cordialement,
Robert

Nice hometown you have there Bill. Sunny day with swaying palms along the promenade with people not too much in a hurry. That's what life is all about. Thanks for sharing this.

Hi Bill, your note is specially useful - with some delay (as I was travelling), please convey my best wishes to your grandmother for her birthday !
I am happy to see a photo of Sibu about which I heard when I was working as a French speaking tour guide in Malaysia for 10 months (including Sarawak, but we never went farther than the Skrang river...) - Other photos of the same place are welcome !
Best regards,
Cath.

Dear Bill,
You are beginning to be the defacto photographer for Sarawak at TE. Most photographers are still into showing how good they are at photography. You aren't. You are more interested in showcasing your subjects, the best you can without showing yourself in the way.

Bani

Hi Bill,
Indeed a very lovely day for this shot. I like the nice colours you have here and the good clarity.The cyclist and the car coming forward is another good consideration.By backing up a little and zooming in might help reduce the distortion typical of wide angles. Well done!!

Regards and thanks for the WS. Much appreciated.
