I literally said 'Oh Goodness' out loud when I opened this page - what a stunning photo. Despite your useful note I still don't know how you do it. The soft and almost fuzzy feel yet such great detail and clarity.
Not to mention the wonderful colours, great composition and generally beautiful scene. I wish I could see this myself every day.
Thanks for sharing. Jx

Hi Chin, great photo, great colours, great everything. :)

Hi Chin,
I'm sure it's all been said, but this is just great! I'm always surprised at how good a seemingly dark sky can look when captured with a long exposure at night, and this is no exception. The light on the boats and on the horizon just adds such a great atmosphere.
Very well done,
Jako

Amazing picture Chin!!!

Impressive colours and light. Maybe you'd have to level its horizon. Congratulations,

HI CHIN,

SUPERR...
IT IS VERY VERY NICE PHOTO..

Y.BEL

Beautiful photo, really has a calming effect to view. Donald

Absolutely beautifull picture. I like the water that looks almost like fog. Its very sharp and colors are very rich. Very well done.
Sophie

hi Chin,
I like this!! Brilliant exposure of 30 secs. It has resulted in a fantastic texture on the water surface!
I like the rich cerulean blue colour captured in the sky. Horizon is slightly tilted but it's no big deal.

Well done and best regards, Daniel.
PS: points later

brilliant shot Chin!!! marvelous, fantastic, awesome!

I love it

jaco

ps. just straighten the horizon, that pond is going to run empty to the left very quickly

Hi Chin Seng,

Wow man, this is one of the best photo that I've ever seen. REally the colour is soft with warm reflective colours of the sea surface blended with the lightings of the Butterworth industrial area. TFS

Hong

Hi Chin. Beeautiful evening waterview. The setting with all those boats is very good. The use of available lighting is excellent. Good to see the other side and Butterworth also known for the Airforce base i think? TFS. Murray.
PS If possible maybe add the distance across maybe 5km?

Selamat Datang! Woaw,beautiful !!!! make me remember fish restaurants that were serving yummy chilli crab near Johor Bahru :) Again Beautiful!!!

hello...

Hi,
