Sanur at dawn, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

While close in proximity, Sanur is a world away from over-crowded Kuta. There are plenty of hotels, but no beach to speak of. Every morning there were peaceful moments like this - a local man wading through the shallow waters looking for shell fish. At certain times of day, the waters were full of people looking for the same thing.

Hi Shaun,

thanks for sharing this picture. I like that this picture is almost black and white, but the litte blue comes really good. Great composition.

Cheers Daniel

A very nice image Shaun that would look fine in Black and White too - a nice composition.

Great shot!!
Love the silhouette man, I think he tells a great story. Composition is also very good by my opinion!
Thanks for showing.

Hola Shaun, me gusta mucho su trabajo fotográfico. La foto denota belleza y paz. El color del cielo en azul seguramente se vería muy bello también. Felicidades por su trabajo.

Nice. I like how you composed the whole scene with the man balancing the boat very nicely. The subtle colors and shadows work well and give the shot a sense of mystery (without your note my interpretation of the scene would have been much different due to the mystery factor here). Good work.

Simply beautiful, Shaun. I suspect you considered going monochrome on this one, because you're almost there, plus you have the stick silhouettes too, but the blue grey color adds a tremendous amount to this moody piece. It's like you've made silhouettes interesting again, you found a new way around them. Well done, Francis.
