[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Strolling along Sarawak River's famous Kuching Waterfront in the late afternoon always provides many photo opportunity on people, buildings or landscape. This day was spent with Alfred to wait for sunset views. It was also the first time I saw the moon at this location, so I tried to frame the State Assembly Legislative building with the moon when a red boat passed by. Even though the builidng is still under construction [delay again to Sept2009 completion] with many scaffolding platform and stages, it still makes a good subject feature because of its location along the riverbank.

We will see how the view may change when the building is completed later. Tiny red boat shown here charges RM0.30 per person to cross the river, and it can be very interesting experience if you come to Kuching. Thank you for viewing and offering suggestions for improvement of this work.

Hi Bill

Looks like a Malay version of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China. Good colour, sharpness & contrast. Tfs!

Hi Bill,
Really very nice your architecture photos this one is very sharp and very well composed.

Hi Bill,
even without the tiny red boat this would be a nice shot. The majesty of the building is impressive and I think it's the real main character of the picture. You've perfectly framed it, with good quality throughout, nice and warm tones and with the classic icing on the cake..the little moon. Well done, very nice presentation.
Thanks for sharing and regards,

Ele

nice capture & info bill, good perspective and colors, even Mr. Moon endorses that :)

Looks like it s going to be a lovely and unique building when complete. Nice to see its context among the trees. TF
warm regards
David

good light on this elegant and massive structure

Hello Bill!

Best regards!

Hi Bill,
An outstanding composition with good colors and balance. The setting sun from behind highlights the dramatic architectural lines of the building that dominates the shot. I also notice how the sun is casting a soft crimson glow on the clouds to the left and on the water below. The small boat really put the size of the structure into perspective. It nice that you also captured the rising moon. This shot is very pleasing to the eye. tfs

Merhaba dear Bill...
verynice shot and pov... A superb colors and focus..bravo...selamlar

Hello Bill,
This is a wonderful Asian-style building, beautiful sharpes and colours. The image is really harmonic with the water in the foreground the vegetation at the bank and the moon on the sky. These details add even more impact to this picture. Of course, technically it's very sharp and saturation is great. Fine job, Bill! TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

What a beautiful landscape. Good clarity. Nice colour saturation.

Hi Bill

Great frame in which you have combined a lot of great things. The red on the building and the boat are great and the off centre main theme well chosen. Sharp and clear it has that moon you also captured and I think it's the strong point.

Have a good day and TFS

Ciao Bill



Beautiful architecture!
An organ of government to the river edge
is fabulous and the view point is preferred here,
are many details in the architecture, the red boat
has a certain charm in the colors of the roof at
red. The landscape is beautiful, the place is beautiful
and the moon as witness this!
Congratulations,

I like the Workshop you did on Alternate #2. With the moon on the left, it balances the composition and makes the structure bigger and better to appreciate it's details. A very intricate colonnade supports that makes this large structure looks light and airy. Your inclusion of the boat shows the proportion and size of this new building.

Very clean shot Bill, my only crit is the scaffolding around the building does not make it perfect architecturally speaking but hey not your fault , he he, but the clarity is noteworthy , good details to be seen here and the greenery along the river is nicely enhanced by the evening light .TFS ,
Carol

Interesting, Bill. When I first glanced at the image I was certain it was a house of worship. I think the scaffolding adds and interesting intricacy to the building . . . maybe they should leave it up! :O)

The combination of the moon, building, clouds and boat brings various moods.

Excellent framing of this stunning architecture with this long zoom. The moon and the red boat balances well for size. The light falling on the architecture is just superb.

Hi Bill,
this is an excellent shot of a great place. The vastness of the sky is lovely and the majestically captured building is lovely. I like the way you title it and the two boats really fall on the thirds.
well composed and well thought with the exact moment well presented.

Foozi

Hi Bill, A well balanced and interesting scene well captured and presented. I especially like the Oriental style building and the moon overhead. Good job. TFS. Murray.

Hi Bill,

The small red boat has an effect of scale. The point of view is showing with precision the details and colors of the architecture of the State Assembly Legislative building. The trees are framing well the building. The early evening light is enhancing the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Greetings Bill,
the two boats really give a sense of scale to the striking
architecture of the building in progress .I had to look closely to see the scaffolding it blends very well with the buildings structural material .A strong composition

Bill, the one and only thing I think would add to this photograph is to darken the sky to a deeper blue to accentuate the moon. Otherwise, no criticisms, only praise.
