[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The tropical green color is instantly recognized feature of Sarawak landscape in Borneo, especially when we are blessed with rainforest abundance. The annual heavy rainfall ensures that the forests are thriving and the rivers are filled with water, and the natural cycle of process of cloudy skies and humid weather enriches us with biodiversity.

This scenery is looking towards the Mount Santubong hill slope of trees in the backdrop, a little pond of water and the grass turf under sprinkling water in late afternoon to give a feel of what summer will be.

For Kuching, annual rainfall record of 4048mm is common. A heavy downpour of 2 hours can cause flooding to low-lying areas. So year end monsoon season is not a good time for beach resorts. For those having white Xmas, you will not complaint of seeing this green environment.

Hi Bill,
Indeed the rain forest is a special part of Mother Nature and you captured it well! I only wish you had taken more of reflection. Anyway a inviting image, exc ellent sharp and well presented!
Hans

Bill, I would love to be in this warm lush green enviornment right now, as we're going through a bone-chilling cold snap here in west central Canada.
I would maybe agree with Hans - a little more of the reflection and less of the trees since we aren't seeing the tops of them anyways. But overall, a very appealing shot. Wish I was there:)

Hey bill it's such a serene picture. The blue tint behind looks very gorgeous.
Although the top of tree are missing but that's making hardly any difference. Shot looks beautiful and complete anyways(atleast to me)
Very nice soft composition!

Cheers&Smiles,
Shubhi:)

I still don't have those green smilies:( to support my verdict hope you won't mind that!!

Hi Bill,

The water featured in the foreground and the mountain at the back sandwiched the green pasture really well here. Very good documentation about rainfall in Sarawak and we are going through dry season here in Kedah. TFS and well done.
