Photographer’s Note

At the river mouth in Tok Bali. Taken from about the same position as the previous post but at widest angle and in vertical format.

Tok Bali is a quiet fishing and farming village on the south coat of Kelantan and only 20 minutes away to Kuala Besut where you could take a boat to Perhentian Island which is a more popular destination for holiday makers.

Hi Latiff!
Great POV and beautiful soft light. Perfect sharpness bringing out all the details both in the sand and in the rocks in the background.

At the right light, this is a just wonderful image giving us all the impression of the tropical laidback countryside that we could dream of.
But Im sure if you going there in midday zenit sunlight
the expression would be different ( I've been there a couple of times even if it is some time ago.
Also an excellent comp.

hi Latiff

Very beautifully and tastefully done portrait format on this serene scenery. I think the name itself is enough to calm my nerves. The light is simply great at this moment and you have exposed it well.

I would think landscape format will be even better if the sharp texture and reflection on the FG mud is not catching my fancy.

I admire the depth at f/13 here. Great skiil in photography shown.

Salam Latiff,
this is excellent shot of the river with soft and nice pestel colours.
I like the siput and the reflection.
you got to have one wide angle. it is fun to work .
im quite dramatic, so distortion and exaggeration is very exciting to me.
Thanks for your coming to my post. it has been quite sometimes we did not communicate.

regards,
Foozi

Dear Latif

your river mouth in early morning light (?)is very peaceful and relaxing. Fine details and great DOF by using the vertical format. Nice colors and well framed. Good Job.

Best regards - Salamat Datang

Hi Latiff,
Lovely silent and peacful environment, good vertical format to frame the view in good perspective effect, interesting with the unknow objects on foreground land, look like animals, too small, I'm not sure. Nice soft color and lighting, thanks for sharing a relaxing view.

Excellent light and colours with a well thought composition. The patterns in the FG are eye-catching.
