Photographer’s Note

A river and beach at Tok Bali, a quiet fishing and farming village in the south east of Kelantan and near the border to the state of Trengganu. The beach is clean, beautiful, and tourist free.

Morning sun is rising above the horizon on the right.

HI Latiff.

Simple but gorgeous work with the composition and the light.
Excellent graphism too.

Hello Latiff,
This silver plated and sinuous mirror is better effect among brown banks. I appreciate the human presence and the position of the boat. It is a creation of quality, and very artistic. Congratulations
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

Hi Latiff,

I can't resist in making critique for this shot even with my smiley running out. I like the monochromatic effect and simplicity of this shot. This is such a well thought composition with subjects anchored at the right place. The turning lagoon and the solitary boat is just perfect capturing the mood of the hour.

TFS and have a very nice day.

What a photographic "Z"!!!!
River's mouth is always impressive as a theme and an interesting geologic phenomenon. There, two different elements of life become one. This blend of water is a unique ecosystem and I think very sensitive!
The impalpable DoF directs our attention at the attractive curves of the beach carved by the river. I love the sharpness and the well-nigh duotone!

Friendly,
Athanasios.

Salam Latiff,
this is a really nice shot of winding river. the graphical presentation is so attractive and lovely. the Malaysia sky seldom offer a deep blue sky. if not your shot will be really superbs.
Very stylish and great impact on visuals.

Foozi

NB: I did not use CPL for my WA shot. i think it is blue enough. It is very exciting and dramatic with Wa. Happy trying and looking forward for your magnificent shots.
