Nice catch Ben! Quite rare opportunity, I guess.
I wonder what was the white contrasty "thing" at the bottom?
best regards,

Thanks Rasheed, :-)
Beside sea water, dust & grit, I also worry about
what people might think, if I go to beach with a camera instead of towel, sun blocks and swim gear-
luckily mine is a small P&S - not likely to be used as a 'professional tools' (if you know what I mean ha..ha..)
have a nice day buddy!

Nice colors!
(I do post processing a lot, in my opinion the
white spot at the upper left & left edge of the picture could need some cloning/erasing so not to distract attention, just my 2 cents)
Keep shooting Galal, tks for commenting
my picture "lotus"

Dear buddy,
I've never got a chance to Benoa, maybe next time
glad you came across a secluded place. The dog on the left add the "loneliness" in this picture.
Chon, you say midday photo but the title said "morning" - well i guss the difference in miniscule ha..ha.. (ama temen ini laah!)
You could crop more tight
PS:
Chon, why you hated post processing so much :-(
Take it from me, buddy - I post process, Ansel Adams post, Fuji & Kodak labs post process, so why dont you ??

Well, then silly me, we share the same experience on this strainer.
In my country we use very similar strainer on every house hold (noodles, fried food etc), at first I thought you take the picture in Indonesia..;-)

Intriguing shot!
Was the strainer still in use or did you find it
being hung someplace for years?
The picture is so sharp I can see the dusts;
a lint fiber, on top left of the picture make me wonder, 'what was that?' somethin on the noodles
...ha..ha..

lae Situmorang and also for you all Roberto, CC, and Cessy:
Thanks for the encouraging comments!
I also literally 'gasping' in awe when I first opened
this file on my computer-what a genuine expression
Since that was a family gathering snapping - nobody there to direct the people. We just so happy because we could see each other (and having a very noisy lunch).
There's so much things to say to loved ones, muted by the separating distance and busy daily routines; yet there's so little time!
(Xmas holiday in Indonesia last 3~7 days only)
thanks again, have a nice day!

No, I still need that true-to-the bones camera!
Loe sendiri udah punya duapuluh De, kapan belinya buseeet...!
Well, thanks for the encouraging comment man!
I try to cover half my monitor with the paper, re-think your composition; If I cut the Hilton Residence then I should have a MORE on the right
in order to obtain 4:3 picture;
the right side dont have a good view, and if I move to the road's center to avoid too much right view, I would too loose the parking cars (in-line, on purpose by a car club meeting at that place)
I guess I should move farther back - recompose,
and still get what I want...thanks ;-)

Yes, I agree that some area are too white hot-but I'm a bit tight there, the boy on the left has a rather dark skin tone. I don't want him too look a-way-too dark than others - so I push up the curve (he's my son ha..ha..)
Thanks, Mike! Have a nice day!

Chon, my naive plan:
the big tree filled the left area, full upward,
(so you step forward abit, and please, this time STAY AWAY FROM ANY CARS...)
this will reduce blinding white areas
make sure the ketchup bottle also seen. You can play with the DOF, so to make impression of size comparison between the two.
Also play with the meter, spot maybe. Aim at the not-too-dark area on the tree, to keep the tone clear while reducing harsh backlight. And I will forget the peddler's stalls on the left (the warungs).
Anyway, youre the man, you know how tight your
situation at that time. Maybe someone on the car
shouting at you to get in and going...ha..ha..
(Melons anyone?)
Why the color tone is so '70s - because of the Sigma zoom, or any filters?

Jan, ss always, I blaze several shots in a row, then check the result, crop heavily, play even more 'heavily' in PS 7.0 and voila, a shot like
the one I 've seen before somewhere...copy cat.
Angela, if you mean "littliest boy" was the

I beleive it called "candle wick" ...:-)
the thing in the middle of a burning candle.
Since I am a beginner, what I did mainly is to
"get inspired" from nice pictures I've came across.
I played with anything near me...ha..ha..
In this case, I wanted to capture the candle light only. Beside, the surroundings were not so "photogenic", that why I prevent them to show up on this picture.
Tks anyway for the tips!
Oh, not like your habit (ha..ha..ha..), I shot this candle on broad daylight, indoor.
Tks man!
