[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The idyllic tropical shoreline of Railay Bay, near Krabi Town in southern Thailand. The boats are called 'longtails' on account of the propellor shafts.

But this shot is not about that. I liked the color contrast, graphism & repetition here. The bg is rainforest, growing amongst the limestone karst formations, this area is famous for.

The tsunami hit this area but as it was sheltered a bit by Phuket & Ko Phi Phi, it did not get the full force. Damage was minor here.

Very nice beach Chris, It's currently -20c outside with a wind chill factor around -30c, and looking at your photo this is really a paradisiac place to be. Great sharpness and colors. Very well done.

Another beautiful spot ...lovely colours of the sand/sea and composition is very good too. TFS, Chris.

Hi Chris (again!!!),

I like these boats and the POV you have shared. The kids in the background are great, looks lovely.

Special WS appreciated. I thought for one horrific moment that you had placed sharks in THIS idyllic scene, with all those kids in the water!
Idyllic scene indeed. No karaoke singers to be seen! Better still, none heard.
Art is everywhere - just look at the lines of those boats. Beautiful design - and there's TWO of 'em.
Sharks project now completed ... where are the buses?

Hi Chris,

Very nice composition. Water is pretty clear. Nicely seen. TFS.

Kiran.

Hi Chris,

Beautiful place and photo!
I like your POV. The boats in the foreground look terific and the colours of the sea and nature in the background create the ideal place to relax.
Well done and TFS :)

Nice compo, Chris! The darkness in the background evokes lushness to me, like an impenetrable forest. And those colours of yours... Nice job!

Hi Chris,

Well done on this capture and composition. Excellent view.

Oh, Chris...I should avoid your photos, you know. I get depressed for not being able to travel more (all the time, that is lol)
I love this composition! the crop is just perfect, the position of the boats well balanced.
I am glad to hear tsunami didn't damage the place as it could have.
beautiful work! tfs

Hello Chris !

Lovely beach scene, and an exotic beach indeed with these nice boats and what seems to be a very remote beach.
Well done once again!
Robert

I like the wonderful sunny colors. Makes me feel like I need a very long vacation...

Just a bit grainy and the background's a bit noisy. You could have cleaned this up, but overall this is what Summer really means to me! TFS!

very nice composition - very lovely beach. TFS
