The difficulties of photographing something that well known place or icon is that it will looks ordinary or common. Because lots of people has did it.

So we have to find something unique or we have to intensively looking around for a moment.

And that's what i am trying to achieve in here. Something different from well known Kuta Beach. On both sides of this picture actually is graveyard. But I like those tress especially with infrared. So I waited for a while for a fill in object and I was fortunate to have that lady.

Hi Yan,

I do not know how other photos of this place look but yours trully draws me in with most special atmosphere.
Dark ambient around warm light embracing most gentle and elegant figure of a lady provides us with certain moodiness, use of infrared suerreal touch, a touch of dreaminess.
Superb capture of excellent presentation.

Regards,
jeri

Hi Yan

Superb graphism & silhouettes of the trees with the person well placed on the central vanishing point. I like the dual colours of gold & black. Indah sekali dans terima kasih!

Woow, what a fairytale peace of mind!! This lady fits the mood perfectly!!! Good for you that you waited for a while!
I love those tones and the mood in this photo! There is much depth in the trees because of the different colours.

Hi Yan,
This IR photo has a very dreamy visual impact!
My compliments for your choice to make differently!
The dark arch of trees lead us subtly us towards the luminous beach!
Excellent! Annie
