Tropical Autumn Photo

Photographer’s Note

About an hour boat ride will get you to Mabul Island, off the coast of Semporna which is a small town on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia.

Mabul Island is not far from Sipadan Island which is one of the world's top diving destination. In the background of this photo are two luxury resorts constructed a long way from the shore connnected to the island by a timber walkway.

I was attracted by the red coloured fallen leaves which is rarely seen in the tropics.

Hope you like it.

Regards
Alfred

Hello Alfred, excellent shot, the warm colors of the red leaves make nice contrast with the sea. I like the platform on the right that makes a leading line to the frame. Thanks for sharing. Greetings,
Kostas.

Hello Alfred. This is very graphical in colors and composition. Stunning inclusion of the autumn leaves on top of the frame and a few loose ones on the sand. The pier takes care of the perspective and the cloud takes care of the saturation. Well done and best regards. Jusni
