[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken from the boat as it approached the island in late morning.

Maiga island is about 1 hour boat ride off the coast of Semporna town in Sabah. Along the boat ride, you will see clear blue/green water and below it, the coral and sea weeds. The island has a small population of sea Bajau people who live in wooden houses built on stilts in water. They make a living off the sea.

Walking around the island's sandy beach takes about 50 minutes. During low tide, you can see the coconut trees along a clean stretch of sandy beach all around. Size of island

Hi Adrian...
Beautiful shot...
Beautiful view...

Andro

excellent view.

Good morning Adrian,
As winter approaches, this image makes me think of vacation. Someplace far and exotic - just like this island. Your composition is superb, the image is well exposed. Just beautiful. Regards, Danilo
