[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A deserted tropical island, south of Padang, in West Sumatra. The beach I waded out to this island from, is called 'Sweetwater Beach' (Pantai Ayer Manis). There is a thunderstorm brewing over the mainland. The shallow water is fringing coral reef & ankle deep. The hill is covered in palm trees, with the odd coconut tree. Polarised. Hope it warms you up a little.

What a place! I just fell it maybe a little over contrasted - or polarised- did you do much in pp afterwards?

Another beautiful image of this planet! Your images always tell mre there is so much to see and so much to preserve about this wonderful world.
Not sure if I heard right but another major quake has been predicted by a geological expert in this area. Crossing my fingers in the hope that its not true. Seen so much already.

Joyeux Noel Chris,
this is a nice antipodic picture showing that it is summer in "your world", happy time for chrismas in exceptional conditions.
May be Santa is wearing Bathing suit insteat of the heavy dress ?
This place in Sumatra is beautiful, the composition is full of delightfull transparencies and colors.
I like it

Hi Chris,
Looking at this photo and dreaming of beeing in this paradise is a great way to warm me up this morning with the great -10C that we have outside. Excellent composition.

Hi Chris !
Please dont do me this... you want to me to kill me... I dont want to go to work... Excellent photo !
All the best,
Rui

Totally unfair! Lots of brightness in this picture, almost too much, but it is there to make us feel the warmth. A bit grainy, but a good composition. TFS!

Yeap, this makes me warm all right, Chris, and Pierre is right, this is not fair to see this beautiful sunny beach in the summer when it is a dark & gloomy winter day here!!! Seriously, this is a beautiful composition with very good saturated colours. Well done!

I would love to be on a deserted island off in the middle of the ocean. Cool shot, I always like these pictures.

Hi Chris 你好,
A very beautiful beach indeed. I particularly like the blue sky and clear water.
Happy holiday!

I saw this on your intro page and it just looks like heaven! Far from the snow you are in now! I'm glad Durango is snowing, means a good snow season for the skiiers! Nice work on this Chris! You make me want to be there!
