[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
El Nido in Palawan reminds me of Phang Nga in Thailand or Halong Bay in Vietnam. From its ageless towering marble cliffs to its white sandy beaches with crystal clear water, many refer to it as paradise or the last frontier. There are countless beaches to discover, so many in fact that sometimes you feel as if you are on your own secluded private beach. You will also find enchanting lagoons with tranquil turquoise-green water, caves that can take you to hidden beaches, and a very diverse variety of wildlife.

There are many eccentricities to El Nido, for example the electric power is 12 noon to 4pm and then 6pm to 6am. Also you will not find any banks here, although you can change foreign currency and travellers cheques at a couple of places albeit at an increased rate. There are also no telephone lines so communication is mostly via mobile phones plus there are many internet cafe's scattered around the town. But it's a wonderful place to visit.

This scene was photographed one early morning. I was awaken again by roosters which seem to act like precise alarm clocks. I have forgotten what pp work I did with it other than sizing.

Hi Danilo,
Very nice early morning silhouettes, the person is such a great bonus, and provides a good scale for the surrounding objects. The wispy clouds and blue sky really add to this scene too, the horizon looks very straight. Great capture.

TFS,
Scott.

ohh nice!! love the sharp contrast between the crisp outline of the silhouettes and the soft morning light in the sky and on the water.

Hi Danilo,
A wonderful early morning shot with silhouettes with incredible different tones!
Fabulous silver cast on the water.
The foreground is also playing an important role in your fantastic capture with the human element present to increase impact to this lovely perspective.
This is superb artistic photograph and it surely goes into my favourites!
Congratulations!

dear Danilo,
delicate tone in dark objects is well contrasted with distant blue sky.
this part of blue makes whole image elegant, in my feeling.
dark silhouette actually shows something vacant, and this looks suggesting anything lost on earth under clear blue sky...
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hi Danilo,
You've done a fine job controlling these settings- excellent mood and really nice POV. Bravo and TFS Julie

Hi Danilo, Palawan seems to be a mysterious part of the world. Lots of tales about the jungle and beaches there. I like this composition for its balance and ambiance. TFS. Murray.

The silhouettes are awesome. The lonely figure gives depth and perspective. I like the way the rocky outcrops in the FB lead to the cliff in the distance. It look as if the figure is also drawn by it, ready to swim across. Sensitive and sensible composition and presentation. a display of good taste!
congrats

Joris

Ola Danilo,
Very very beautiful composition.Thanks.

Hello Danilo,

This is the sort of shot that one wants to browse over and gently absorb, as it is tremendously calming by its very nature.
Although tiny, the silhouetted figure is the focal point around whom the pincer like rocks, the tranquil sea, the distant island and the skittish sky, revolve.
Fine composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Danilo! Excellent landscape. Wonderful rocks. Amazing lightness and brightness. Fantastic shadows. Great effect. Well done!

Hello Danilo,

Excellent work with great contrast between lights and shadows!
Congratulations and TFS
