Hi Foozi,
Your island certainly looks like "Moby Dick", well spotted.
I'm surprised that the foreground looks so brown, not what I'd expect to see in the tropics.
A funny shot, well done.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Foozi
Nice saturated colours and pleasant composition with the palm trees. Slight tilt but no easy fixed. I like the wispy clouds also.

Hi Foozi
Nice saturated colors and framing. Are those Perhentian Islands at a distance?

It is curious how that “type” of whale is quite common. Here, in Queensland, there is too one which is always sun bathing near the beach of Mooloolaba.
The sky is excellent but the horizon could be straight. An interesting shot, anyway.

hi Foozi

I think you seized the chance to explore the scenery here because this place is known for natural beauty. This shot does not disappoint with your CPL blue sky and the strong color contrast of the flat land, green palms and the islands.

A great shot.

tfs, bill

Foozi, this picture is almost like an abstract painting, what makes it special for me are the strange contrast of be brownish foreground vs. the deep blue sky. Very good composition, the only down side is the tilted horizon, but that can be corrected easily.

Have a great day

Hello Foozi,
Excellent simple compo, I like those four palm-trees on thr FG, under the intense blue sky contrasting with the yellow field, and the unusual silhouette of the whale-island at the horizon...

Hi Foozi,
although the horizon is slightly tilted it is a very beautiful capture of this fascinating seascape. The bright colors are wonderful and the perspective is excellent. What a wonderful piece of nature! And you have chosen a nice title. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hi Foozi,
although this pic has a tilting horizon, I like it. The palms on the right side balance somehow this little lack and anyway I like the way you managed colors here.
Well done, have a nice day!

Hey Foozi!

This square crop makes the photo almost completely fill my screen, and I like that!

The colours are sublime and really well contrasted. I agree the island looks kind of like a cartoon whale!

So where do you recommend visiting in peninsular Malaysia? I'm actually here right now in Georgetown on Pinang! - I love it so far! Any advice would be much appreciated :)

All the best

Lee

Hello Foozi,

Wonderful light and great colour palette!
The palm trees frame the view to the islands in the back and contrast nicely with the deep blue sky...
The fine veil of clouds is a nice touch to this simple but elegant composition!

Salam Foozi,

You have exploited this SWA lens really well in keeping the trees upright and vibrant against the blue sky. I like the contrasting color of dried sand against the beautiful backdrop of the whale and the sunny day.

Jusni

Hi Foozi,

Well done for the astounding and wonderful blue colours being shown here.
It's true the whale is there!! :)
Sometimes the simplest way to present something is the best...and this is what you did!!
Well done & tfs,
