Truly amazing colours in this magnificent photo. Great contrast and sharpness, perfect framing! Thanks for sharing such a unique place!

Very nice Thomas, though perhaps the sky seems a bit over saturated, but still nice in every other way.

Wow, Thomas, the colours and contrasts in this shot are stunning. The saturation is superb and best of all it doesn't look out of place either. Composition is great and I like the way the wavy clouds seen to mimic the curve of the top of the tree. Excellent shot.

Hi Thomas
Great composition. I like the details of the hut, the slanting palm tree on the right, the curve of the road, the beautiful flowers in the tree and those amazing clouds. Stunning colours, great DOV and perfectly polarized.
Well done.
Regards Toni

This is another great shot! I love the tree, it is so beautiful. The colors are great here, the sky is so brilliantly blue. Nice work!

Strong colour and very dramatic sky - the polarizer has done its job nicely. A nice simple composition that invites the viewer in to relax and enjoy "Island Time" for a while.

I'd like to be there right now. I like the POV with the shack off center and the ocean in the background with a little bit of a palm tree leaning in to the right. Beautiful shot.

Colors, composition, contrast, sharpness. Everything is perfect looking at this shot. Superb !

Andre-H (1407) 2006-04-04 7:17

Interesting subject and great colours. I like the clouds, the tree, and the shed, which all fit well together. I'm not entirely sure about the composition, though. The road in the bottom right doesn't really fit, and the overall effect doesn't lead the viewer's eye around the photo very well. Still, good shot.

From my point of view the angle has been chosen well and the colours of course are brilliant. It gives the viewer the impression of standing right there and smell the fresh breeze. I think framing would have been a good idea, but apart from that I would not change anything... Great shot!

fantastic image!!all my compliments!!

Emiel_Skyfreak (2976) 2006-09-15 7:22

Wow..fantastic. I love this work man, very nice vivid colours. Well seen, the red in the tree is awesome. The tree also has a cool shape, with that curve on it's top.
I like the details on the left side. There is indeed a weird piece in the sky on the right, piece of a tree. Maybe you could have cropped it of, or cloned it away proper. A composition from a position more to the right, also viewing a bit more to the left, would have been awesome too, I think.
Great effect by the polarizer.

amazingly vivid colours and beautiful POV with this soft clouds in the superblue sky.
Interesting name Faasaleleaga ;-)

Really great capture of such spectacular scenery ...
I Like the colours and the sharpness of the photo ...
Amazing sky as well ..
Good job

Nice picture, good colours!
But you left a "ghost" of the tree leafs on the top right area, after adjusting something there...

hoorge (1434) 2007-02-25 17:17

Thomas,

The composition is wonderful. I like the way the tree branches flow with the road, and at the same time the road seems to suck you into the scene. Good vibrant colors with nice contrast. Picture is sharp and your pov is perfect.

presidente (1115) 2007-03-26 17:53

stunnig color and saturation in this picture. I like the compo too. Polarized and DOF are really well done.

Beautiful! Lovely colours, great POV.
Delonix Regia, commonly known as Flamboyant, Royal Poinciana, or Flame tree.Its called Gul Mohur in India, native of Madagascar. In India it blooms in summer. That is right now. It is blooming all over the place..

Bon sujet mais traitement de l'image un peu superficiel.
On voit que des nuages ont été rajoutés comme le prouve le malheureux coup de tampon en haut à doite qui laisse apercevoir une partie de l'arbre dans le ciel !
Difficile de rester authentique !!!

sleepytyme (21) 2007-08-11 5:49

love the brilliant reds against the cool blue sky...looked at twice tomake sure i was seeing right!

anilyn (87) 2007-09-07 7:48

Hi Thomas,

Great composition and saturation.
As it has been said before, there is a little flaw on the upper side corner but the shot remains superb !

kwazireal (179) 2007-12-22 3:06

Please see workshop and look at the huge amount of cloning that was done to this "original".

Also, the highlights are blown (pure white, flat clouds with no details); the contrast is too severe, and others have already commented about the need to crop out some of the roadway. The saturation is unnatural; too intense, especially with the excessive contrastiness.

ajujot (91) 2008-01-25 4:07

Perfect photograph Thomas! Excellent colors and very special!

Mateja (413) 2008-03-08 6:19

A very dynamic and intensive photo, I love the strong colours and the excellent composition!

There is a little part of the tree, blowing in the air like a ghost, but it doesn't change the quality of the photo.

sensational picture, love it. Great POV. Death perception is great. Interesting you quote these tree to being all over the southern hemisphere, i thought this might have been a picture from australia when i first saw it! Thanks for posting, cheers, James

vmukherjee (395) 2009-03-07 18:20

Great shot! The combination of blue and red, with the dynamic patterns of the clouds look amazing. Also good composition. Thanks for sharing.
