Bukit Mertajam? That's close to my kampong. BM is also the place my father & my siblings went to school. Nice capture of the curving & parallel road & railway tract. Good exposure & colors. The overhead branch for good balance. Regards. Latiff.

It's good to see BM again. Or a part of it at least. I remembered cycling everyday to Penanti and remembered how idyllic and quiet those days. It was peaceful and cleaner then. Seeing this photo, I'm guessing it is still is.

Hi Ally excellent courve shot! most excellent picture you have! This point with the nature and the simplicity is that likes! In the big buildings it does not have fog of technology. The locality and curve the streets his good prospect depth it gives.

Hello Ally,
Excellent note of presentation. I like much the composition of the image which makes use of the curves. The colors are sober and pleasant. Good work.
Have a nice day

hi Ally

Good to see that you capture landscape now instead of buildings. From this view, I can see a quiet side of BM with narrow and winding road, plenty of greenery and less traffic.

Shot from a building or bridge somewhere?

Good work.

TFS, bill

Hi Ally,

Beautifull moods created.
All the best, dear friend.

Ally, c'est la poésie du petit matin avec les travailleurs sur la route. On devine la brume encore ça et là. La route et la voie ferrée font de belles courbes qui coupent le paysage.

Hi Ally,
The early morning atmosphere is well captured with the lighting and the cloudy and slightly foggy weather conditions. You chose a good POV close to the curve in the road. The traffic adds a nice idea of daily life. Well done!

Hi Ally,
A nice catch of the green tropical landscape. The winding road and train tracks produce a very nice dynamism and depth. The sky isn't particularly beautiful, but it enhances a sense of humidity on the air.
Regards, José.

Ally,
You perfectly used the road curves to catch perspective and depth here.
I like too your good job in this unperfect light and weather.

JB.

Hello Ally. Nicely composed the town of Bukit Mertajam. The raintree at the top makes interesting framing with the railway tracks and road turning on the top frame. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hello Ally,
Interesting view of the Malaysian countryside!
I notice the typical buildings in this lush setting showing the ancient farming tradition as a contrast to cars and railroad...
A well composed image with a good feeling of depth!
Greetings,

Ally, interesting photo, nice color and a fine composition. The note however is very different that what the picture shows I think, sounds like a large city and here are a couple of trackside huts. Nice capture.

Greg

Hello Ally Theanlyn!
Very beautiful shot and note.I can really feel coolness of early morning emiting out of this picture.Beautiful lush greenery.

By the way was it one of the regular days, or holiday? Becasue i can see people on road in early morning which shows their healthy lifestyle.

Nothing wrong with picture, everything is perfectly balanced and A1.(Best of luck for future and thanks for displaying)
