Hello friends in TE.

This is a mid day shot at Pantai Tengah in Langkawi and you can see that there are visitors taking a dip in this warm afternoon water. Pantai Tengah, about 500 metres south of the more popular Pantai Cenang, is a great place if you're looking for somewhere to simply chill out. Accommodation consists of low key chalets with more upscale resorts recently built. Not ideal swimming conditions due to its position on the bay, but picturesque and quiet.

Regards.

Hello Jusni,

Incredible tones of blue colors both on sea and sky. Silhouettes of peninsula, boats and visitors perfectly completes your beautiful photo. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hi Jusni,

very interesting register! You made good use of the rule of the thirds, emphasising the plain blue sky without taking the attention from the water and the elements on it. One more point for the excellent luminosity. Well done!

Carlos

Hi Jusni,
I like your deeply blue composition. It provides a very peaceful atmosphere.
I was surprised to read that it is a mid day post. Despite the people swimming I would have guessed it was taken at the end of the afternoon or in the evening.
The whole looks like a postal card.

Regards,
Marianne

Hello Jusni

Hello Jusni! Fantastic shadow. Wonderful contrast. Good colors. Interesting landscape. Original picture. Good luck!

Hi Jusni, I like the blue tones to this shot, and I like the simplicity. Your main subject is four swimmers seen as very small dots on the larger shot, but they stand out very well in good sharp detail, against this blue backdrop. I like your separation between your sky (with those awesome thin clouds) and water, with the irregular rise and fall of the forest covered land. It's all very simple but everything works well together. Very nicely put together.

Thanks, John

Excellent, very impressive and very nice photo! Perfect composition, amazing colours. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

hello Jusni

Quite a surprise to see this blue sky and dark green tone of mountain slopes at mid day, but it provided you with a good opportunity to capture the scene nicely. Clouded sun, but it was blue sky?

Well composed viewpoint. And sharpness with details even down to swimmers.

tfs, bill

Hi Jusni,
Very nice colors and wel composed image. The sharpness and details look superb.

Hi Jusni,
This is a very nice and peaceful beach scene, but in my opinion the hour you took the picture and the darkness it shows is a little problem that could be easily fixed in PS. Very good sharpness and compo.
Best wishes,

Hello Jusni
If your picture is an invitation to swim, I'm game. What wonderful blue waters, with the BG of the karst hills. Like the small people as they enjoy the waters & your placement of the horizon as well. A fine picture from a beautiful place.
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Jusni,
I just discovered this one. Great picture !
The blue of the sea is nearly coordinated with the blue in the sky and the pink color on the horizon gives a fantastic atmosphere. The big proportion of the sky is good and makes this image original.
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian

Hello Jusni,

Appealing simplicity in the composition!
Nice layers and attractive shades of blue, fine division of the frame...
Lovely light and good colours!
