Hi Bill,

i think your city's proximity to southern/central part of Borneo in a way is a disadvantage because forest fires and open burnings are quite rampant thus causing the hazy sky as noticeable here. i remember one time when an emergency was declared due to a very poor visibility and the air pollution index deteriorated.

i can imagine how more beautiful this image could be minus the haze. i like the POV here.

Very cool shot Bill, I like this - and a thought provoking note too.

Composition is key to this one - excellent placement of horizon, and of the two fishermen. Rich colours and saturation and the vignetting effect around the corners works well too.

You live in a beautiful part of the world!

Hello Bill.
Thanks for uploading. Its a good looking picture, with great composition.
The 'special' light gives it an apart look.
Notting wrong with the Malaysian 'Afternoon tea light'.
It al depents on the mood of mother nature, right ?
The framing could have been less, like to see more of the picture.
Greetings and Terima kasih from Jan

Hi Bill,
This is an attractive photo. I like the muted colours due to the hazy sky. The people makes the picture complete.

Hi Bill,
Nice capture of these fishermen on the sand bar. I think the hazy look provides a nice atmosphere. I like the way the light isolates the fishermen, like they are on a stage. The vignetting adds a nice polished look this great shot.
Regards,
Kevin

Hello Bill, there is an eerie light across the landscape which is interrupted by this tiny island of sand.
As I look at your picture, my eyes are constantly drawn back to the two men standing on the sand.Very well observed.
Your notes are thought provoking, thanks.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Bill,
Wonderfully tranquil image with these two man stading on the low sandbar that is surrounded by the lovely tropical ocean.
Lovely contrasting muted colors.

HI Bill
Whatever you did wrong looks pretty darn good to me.
I like this dark atmosphere making the island and its occupant become the center of attraction.
