Hello friends in TE.

This shot was taken on the same beach as the previous post but facing the opposite direction. The calm turquoise water and blue sky did not attract any guest or visitor for a swim. The capture was made during hot afternoon sun as most of the guests were having their siesta. Thanks for viewing.

Hi Jusni
Ver special capture of that beautiful beach. Lovely perspective and great skies. I had the same feeling of loneliness yesterday when I arrived at my favorite beach and I was all by myself.

Hola:
Precioso paisaje, el colorido de la fotografia invita a tomarse un baño en las cristalinas aguas. El azul del sol y las nubes que se estan formando hacen que parezca un lugar de ensueño.

I believe Jusni, that the special thing in this pretty photo, is the clever inclusion of the vegetation on the right side in special beautiful color, and the inviting shadow. Ah, yes, that cloud is fantastic too. Wonderful job, congratulations! Daniel

Hi Jusni,
Wow,very exiting scene,pity Malaysia is too far away.Beautiful contrast and colours but I think the horizont is a very very little tilting to the left side,tetapi bagus sekali fotonya!
Regards from Spain,Lance

hi Jusni

Wonderful color and bright light on this beach scene and really good use of CPL for this moment. The patch of clouds look so unique. Good saturation. It does not matter much that the horizon is tilt just a little. Great shot.

tfs, bill

Hi Jusni,
It's a lovely dream this landscape well composed with splendid colors, lights and contrasts. The palms with its shadows framed well the composition. Good POV and depth. Well done, regards, Consuelo

Hi Jusni!
What a place! Colours are wonderful and the composition is also good with part of the palm tree on the right side and the water in diagonal. Strange that it has no one around.

Hello Jusni, amazing exotic shot with the superb beach, looks like a paradise place. Great colors light and depth. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jusni,

The sea has this lovely turquoise colour, very attractive!
The simplicity of the composition is appealing, and the fresh green palm branch makes a fine framing...
A fine division of the frame in sea/sky, and the beach atmosphere is well conveyed!

Hi Jusni

Looks idyllic! I like the turquoise & aquamarine colours of the sea. The tropical greenery of the coconut palms, & lush, vegetation, is a good addition. Tfs!

Hello Jusni
The colour of the sea, turquoise is like a paradise. Well composed in a diagonal, with fine contrast of the sand & the water. But the best part surely has to be your inclusion of the fresh green leaves of the coconut palms on the right. Well done!

Jusni my friend, this is paradise on earth! The well saturated colours are nice and I am thinking how nice should be to scuba diving out there...

Un petit paradis sur Terre!!

Hello Jusni,
I could dive into this picture straight away, as I really need to be in a place like this!
Beautiful seascape with amazing colours and contrast. The deep turquoise of the ocean is just amazing to look at and its contrast against the blue of the sky is great! The palm kissed by the sun offers another great contrast and the whole lot is just an invitation to take the first flight to reach this destination. Beautiful!
Regards,

Igor

Hi Jusni,

The colors of the sea and of the sky are assets to the composition. The point of view leads our eyes toward the space between the island the mountain. The palm tree in the foreground is a complement to the composition. A place to enjoy a vacation. Have a nice day.
