My idea of paradise would be a lot cooler and much less humid, but the beauty of southern Thailand makes putting up with the heat easier. View of Ko Poda from a small uninhabited island (forgot the name) with 3 beaches at low tide. The white strip on the horizon is the beach on Poda, the mainland (Ao Nang coast) is visible behind it. These islands were overrun by hals of the population of Sweden at the time, I believe the Queen of Norway was also staying at a mega expensive resort on Ao Phra Nang.

Hi Tan
Good low PoV here leading to the hill, the variations in green and blue are fantastic and on a hot afternoon like today it's very refreshing !!!
I feel better now, thanks !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Beautiful capture Tan, the water looks absolutely amazing here and what colour. Good contrast in the sky and very well composed shot. Very nice work.

It's a breathtaking picture, Tan.You've made a real feature of that wonderful green light of the coral shallows. The island and the magnificent sky make it perfect.

Wow, what water! The colour is amazing, and the perspective of the horizon high in the frame puts the emphasis down on this inviting water. This really makes me feel like I'm there. Well done!

Even if it's not paradise, spending a week on this uninhabited island would be OK with me. The water is just so tempting, at least that's what your image conveys. Good execution, crisp colors.

Hi Tan,
This is exactly how I imagine Jules Verne's Mysterious Island. Fantastic sharpness of the rocks, colours of the sea, clouds, and everything.

Thanks,

I can't believe it! Does it really exists???? I want to be there!!!!!!
Hi Catman, the colour of the sea water is very impressive, and contrasts very well with the blue sky. The clouds helps to give more beauty to the seascape. The composition having the high mountain in the background adds a kind of nature power to the shot. The light, always difficult in these conditions, is also very well captured. Good work, and thanks for sharing this kind of pleasant and fresh views. It goes direct to my favorites!.
Best regards Tan.
Jaume

Wow!

Great shot Tan... the water looks sooooooooo inviting! I'll have to check this place out my next visit to Phuket (area). Great clarity, and I like the fact that the sky is not overblown...

I think I just found my new desktop wallpaper!
Cheers,

Paradis ?
Oui, assurément et vue la limpidité de l'eau, on ferait des kilomètres à la nage pour y parvenir.
Superbes couleurs sous un ciel très agréable à admirer.
Excellent cadrage.

Great photo Tan!! The water looks so inviting! It also looks like you could wade over to the island, or at least part of the way!

Reminds me of the scene in "the beach" where they have to swim over to the island.

I love the colours and the clouds too, looks like it might just rain later on in the day.....

Very beautiful shot, Tan. The colours of the water are just fantastic. Excellent detail. The clouds help to make the island seem even more impressive. Well framed.

I missed this one, well, I've been busy. What a fantastic scan this is, perfect colours and sharpness. Looks like a great place, I wonder if it'll still be full of Swedes when I'm there in a few weeks.

This picture is like a dream, how such beautiful places can exist ! the water is so clear and calm, the white sand beach seems desert and waiting for us ! The sky also is beautifula and well captured thanks to the ploariser.
Great composition, thank you for sharing and let us dream a while.

Cheers,
Michael

Tan, sharply taken and colorful. I like the back island, very nice picture. Excellent water and colors.

Amazing picture! I love the colours and the tranquality of the waters. I would personaly cropped the image so it would look more like a lone island. I am going to Phra Nang in two weeks, for study research on tourism. It looks good :)
