Hello TL,

Human Face - a man's face looking upward to the sky, lying down. That is the shape of mountain on one of the islands called Bohey Dulang, off Semporna. Eight islands make up the Tun Sakaran Marine Park. This shot taken just off the jetty point of Semporna, near the new market. At the time of this trip, we were hastily arranging and preparing for a boat ride to the islands, therefore not really paying too much attention to the coast off Semporna and ignoring the fishing villages on near side, or even the waters.

For future visitors and tourists coming to Semporna, there are some accomodations at Semporna, such as
Seafest, Uncle Chang, Dragon Inn (almost ready at our trip) etc.

Glancing through rabani's gallery, he posted a shot of the same pov but at 300mm FL closer, giving more details of the island of 2006. He knew this place inside out. Thank you for viewing.

I have seen a similar 'face' , only in the U.S. A very pretty scene! Also nice daily life! TFS

Hello Bill,
A fine composition with lovely cool tones. Well composed with a good depth perspective helped by the little boats in the foreground. The distant mountains make for some interesting silhouettes. Excellent clarity.

Another good show Bill. How I'd like to chill out here. The two boats making good subject in balancing the shot. Good sharpness of the houses and I like the misty backdrop of the composition. Best regards. Jusni

Bonjour Bill
C'est vrai qu'avec un peu d'imagination on voit un homme étendu sur le dos la bouche grande ouverte. Ce qui me plait particulièrement ce sont toutes les nuances de bleus de la mer.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Hey Bill,

Great depth and colors here. The motive was definitely worth publishing. It looks exactly like a man`s head. Great details and clarity as always. Now post something not so paradise-like. :P

See you.

Congratulations

Hi, great compo here leading the viewers' eyes from FG to midG, then to the BG. I like the sharpness and colours of the water in the FG wich is punctuated with boats as an interesting feature.

Hi,

Indeed, it resembles the face of the man. we have something similar in Tatra's mountains in Zakopane - sleeping knight, with the cross on the nose. Nice picture with the village on the sea. regards

Hello Bill,

Three elements in this picture are very lovely.
The two boats making good subject in balancing the shot.
Middle the village with the wonderful green palmtrees.
Mountains and silhouettes give a extra line in background.
Excellent composition and lively colours.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Greetings,
John.
