Photographer's Note
Continuation to my previous posting from same location
Observing daily activity of these outrigger canoes is lifetime experience for me. These 'spiders' are normally sit beached above the high tide line during the day. As it gets dark the indigenous 'Sasak' fishermen would bring their motors, nets, and kerosene lamps to the canoes and venture out to havest the midnight black ocean waters. Watching these 'spiders' returning with the catch ashore at daybreak is a truly colorful and rewarding experience. The best vantage point for a fantastic view is along the hilly coastal road north of Senggigi beach. As the morning light gets brighter, the open deep blue ocean is clearly visible dotted with vibrant colors, the sails of these returning outrigger canoes. The vividness of these colors are more evident as they get nearer and eventually beached ashore as we are presented with colorful panorama. The task is accomplished temporarily for these 'Sasak' and time to have a good break till the next nightfall again.
Shooting location: Pamenang, West Lombok Island overlooking Straits of Lombok. Those islands on the horizon are the famous diving spots namely from left Gili Meno island and Gili Air island. Picture is polarised and blue color is natural not PShopped.
WS: Close up view of returning 'spiders'

Hello Abmdsudi,
This is a very appealing and simple, yet refined, composition. A naked tree, two barren islets, three coloured dots, the horizon. Restful and soothing, beautiful colours. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi admdsudi,
You're capturing well this seascape by a good composition and excellent tone, so it's impressive and interesting to see clean/beautiful blue sea. It's impressive in the contrast of sea and sky with layers, too. And, tall tree at right side gives an impact in this image as well as small islands seen far away.
Regards,
mikio

Hello abmdsudi. First, I do not see the tree, but the intense blue and the small island in the background. The tree fits perfectly into the overall composition. The side lighting is ideal. A very clear and clean picture best technical quality. Prima. Rgds wolfgang.

Hi Abmdsudi,
A very simple picture but a very well composed view. The naked tree is beautifully lit on one side and the little boats on the water provide some good accents. Kind regards

Hello,
Interesting view and way to deal a seascape. There are few elements in the frame but each is well placed in the frame to balance the composition and provide an information of scale and depth.
I like the lightning on the tree, underlined by a warm light on its border.
I wonder what it could have been, having the full tree in the frame.
Yves.

Hi Abmdsudi,
the image is very deep and has a few really nice blue tonalities, contrasting the sea and the sky with its different hues, in a very effective framing.
The colors of the boats they splash the sea, while the tree seems to look at this beautiful landscape, from a spectacular POV.
I like the luminosity and the chromatic quality of the photo, you have done a great work, in a nice composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Bom dia Abmdsudi
Splendid blue color of the sea. This naked tree seems to ask life to the sea and the sky. Spectacular that island (?) that we can see at the horizon line. Superb composition.

ciao Abmdsudi,
pochi elementi ma quanto basta per rendere bella una foto.
L'albero si lega benissimo alla vastità del blu del mare con le due isole sullo sfondo,

Sabaidee Abmdsudi,
Love the simplistic and minimalist composition. Great use of the dormant tree branch to frame the open scenery of the sea and island, the few sail boat adds some lovely specks of warm and color to the deep blue of the vast water.
As always the details and sharpness are spot on.

A minimalistic compo that works well
Good drastic crop on the FG tree, superb blue tones in both sea and sky, and nice little colour spots of the sails... Nice looking place again!
Well realized

Hi Abmdsudi.
Simple but beautiful image, with a few items but no less captivating, great POV with that lonely tree, which also receives a beautiful golden light of late in its branches, giving us a beautiful contrast with the deep blue sea and the soft blue -pink sky.
Good brightness and sharpness.
Have a nice weekend.
Best regards.
Luis.

Ciao dear Abmdsudi,
in my recent travels I have seen twice this fantastic sea and I can confirm that it does not need Photoshop to emphasize its beautiful colors. You have captured a beautiful composition, vibrant and with a great depth. It's truly a pleasure see your photo. congratulations!
Ciao, have a nice week!

Bonjour ,
c'est minimaliste et très agréable à la vue, un cadrage parfait pour une carte postale bien ensoleillée. Les bouées colorées à l'avant plan apportent une petite touche qui accroche le regard.
Amicalement.

Salam Abmdsudi
Simple picture which works well! The two things which work well is your effective composition keeping the tree off-centre & the morning light which falls from right highlighting a part of the tree, giving a distinct 3D appearance. The deep blue water & the tiny sailboats (which provide idea of the scale) is beautiful as is the rwsidual red colour in the sky at the horizon. Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu

Salaam Mas Abmdsudi,
Apa kabar? Semoga sehat dan berjaya selalu. Mohon maaf sudah lama absen dari TE.
Saya menangkap kesan simplicity, warm (khas tropical banget) dan menenangkan dari photo ini. Dengan pohon beserta ranting-ranting yang kering yang menjadi FGnya dan juga pencahayaan yang bagus... satu kata saja "Indah"...TFS
Kind Regards,

Hello Abmdsudi,
I certainly believe the blue colour is genuine, it's so beautiful and makes the ocean look so soothing and friendly. I like very much the simplicity and balance of your composition, the size or space the various elements have in the frame creates a fascinating play of scale and distance. I also love the blue hues, the gradation in the sky and the intricate play of the warm light and shadow against them. The impressive close up in the workshop is very interesting. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania
