Ride to the exit, a photo from Pulau Pinang, West

Photographer's Note

This is pic #6 of my Penang Tropical Spice Garden series.

The architecture you see on the top left corner is actually the main entrance to the garden. The ticket counter is there manned by the lady boss. You can also buy some beautiful postcards from her.

The clear water reflects the hut pretty well. I hope to include more of the sampan but I would risk overexposing the picture.

I like this picture and I hope you like it too.

Cheers

What a wonderful composition! All this gorgeous green, the reflecting water and the beautiful old boat is perfectly placed! Very well done!

Nice and balanced picture with high definiton and good colours. A pity that the Entrance building is partially cropped.

I have a strange liking towards anything green - and here you have captured the shrubs (and their reflection) really well. The front part of the sampan adds to the feel.
Like Vegabond had said, it's a pity that the roof of the 'wakaf' is partially cropped.

Great composition here. I like the angle where you positioned the boat. And do like how everthing is reflected in the water.
Only minor comment i have is you missed the roof by a few inches. :-)

Great catch here.

Green, reflective and appearing deep. Well done here Yahwen. If I was here, I couldn't do better than this. Except maybe cropping off the leftside or push the sampan further in, to be composed together with the plants on the bank. Artisticly green and simple depiction of a sampan.
