[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ok, today I post you another picture of the beautiful Pulau Rawa in Malaysia. It's one of the most beautiful places I've been to and has only veeery few tourists (there is also no space for them anyway...). the weather was great, the sea cristal clear, the sand white and fine grained and the climate perfect (even though it was nearly raining season already).
You can reach the island from Mersing in southern Malaysia (to reach within 3h30 from Woodlands Singapore I think).

Oh, great, that's fine : I had never seen any images of Pulau Rawa and I'm always on the look for places to go diving to in SEA.

By any chance, have you also been to Pulau Aur or another island I don't remember the name (Dayang perhaps?) in the Seribuat archipelago...wondering how it is for scuba diving too...

Hai Martin, thanks for sharing this colorful photo. Nice weather and the place really looks like a paradise.

Hi Martin
Une plage de rêve, eau turquoise, sable blanc et palmiers.
Superbe.

Very nice colors of the sea.
Well composed picture.

Hi Martin,
This is a fantastic image of a stunning location. You've done a great job capturing the colours, contrast and composing it all, creating a truly beautiful picture in the process. I really love it.
Well done!

Kind regards,
Tony

It certainly looks like paradise on earth. I don't think I would see it as a punishment if they dropped me at that island ;-). Very nice composition, good colours. Later.

Hello!

Really nice pics you got there! Must say Im impressed. Especially the ones from Pulau Rawa. I havent been there myself, but Ive been on Tioman and Perhentian. Also saw your pics from Singapore, always nice to see photos from places you are familiar with. I have some pics too from this area if you want to check them out. Although my equipent is far from yours in performance...:(
Anyway...great job!
