Beach No.1 at Neil Island Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is another wonderful place which is quite forgotten.

Neil island, a tiny island among the Andaman islands, is relatively very undeveloped offering only few resorts for tourists which most of them, as the rest of the villager's houses, are still built from bamboo and wood.

Its a place of wild nature, untouched jungles, friendly locals, and some of the best beaches in Asia. The beach in the photo is on the northern tip of the island offering great snorkeling and the obvious great looks...

Hello Itamar,

You did a very nice job with the vertical composition of this landscape. The light is very good on the rock in front and on the beach. The shoreline has a nice curve through the frame which is fun for the eye to follow. The contrast of the blues in the sky and the ocean are very good as well. It's good that you have the clouds as well. The only thing I can see that might detract is the amount of shadow on the trees to the right. I did a workshop to illustrate what I mean.

Have a great day,

Mel

Hi Itamar,
A paradisical view! The POV is very well chosen and the colours and clarity are gorgeous.
TFS this place rarely seen.
PS: Have you Brazilian or Portuguese ancestors? Itamar sounds like a Brazilian name, but I guess it may be Jewish.
Regards, José.
