Beach Flower, a photo from Kedah, Ouest

Photographer's Note

A picture of a tropical flower on a black sand beach taken right where it had fallen from the tree above.

The name of this place is Pantai Pasir Hitam (beach of black sand) and is just a small beach. The black sand is unusual and I believe this is the only beach that has it on the island. Apparently it's still a mystery as to exactly where the black minerals are coming from. We were here at sunset and it was a magical moment.

I really like this shot. The black sand is a great contrast for the flower. Nice composition. Just a great shot.

Outstanding shot! I like how the orange color of the flower also appears as a shade on the ground (sunset?). Composition is great also.

This sort of shot appeals to me. I like the simplicity of it. The colours go well together and the highlights and lines in the sand creates an interesting texture. Nice use of DOF.

This is a lovely picture, the positioning of the flower does make it more striking and contrasts with the sand nicely. How did you put your signiture on the bottom?
Nice one!

I happened to see this photo in "Feautured Theme". Wow. Soft against hard. It has a bit of noise but a great photo nevertheless. I think that flower is called Bunga Tanjung in the local language. Latiff
