Hi Bill,

the sky is worth mentioning for it catches my first sight. the shape of the blue sky at the centre, sandwiched between the clouds, looks like a dolphin swimming to the right. you better have a closer look at it.

the seascape is no less beautiful and the dwellings are...TRULY Sea Bajau!

Hi Bill,
Lovely image. Th eoverall blueness of the picture caught my eye. The houses on the stilts looks great against the sky-water background. There does not appear to be any surf at all here.

Hi Bill,
Wonderful photo, I like these simple houses, the ocean and the boat. I must be wonderful to spend holidays here. But to live here? I am afraid it would not for me. Wonderful sky with delicate clouds.

Hi Bill,

No need to answer where you are - because this picture tells it all. What a place, what a wonderful composition, that turquoise water is enormously attractive. Our Sea is all dark and grey.
I'm sure you needed spare memory cards here!

Hello Bill,
Very nice scene and great mood here,i like to see here, the clear water and the beautiful things in the water..my friends said "Samporna" sound like that is the best place to take pictures..i heard also there is "Orang Asli" there.
Anyway this is very excellent capture with beautiful scene and nice clouds too..:)

Hi Bill,
A 'kopitiam' talk... "we don't need cellphones, amenities or whatever modern day living facilities. We will simply forget those things when we step onto the sand of the island, seeing how wonderful is the scenery", my media friends told me about their experience of visiting this place. Seeing your shots of this beautiful place, alongside with what Rabani's, I don't have any reason to doubt.

If I can make it some day, visiting this heavenly beautiful place... I will possibly asking myself... WHERE AM I?

Regards,
Ramdan.

Hi Bill,
From where I'm sitting this looks like paradise. Lovey the crystal clear light turquoise water of this placid baywith the old boats and crude homes sitting atop the stilts. The distant mountains and incredible sky complete this masterpiece.

A great shot of a truly breathtaking scenery. Well composed photo and pleasant to the eyes. Is this photo using the 1/3 rule? Sometimes I get confused with that rule. Nice cool blue colours to soothe the a warm sunny day.
