Boat and Trees at Bako DSC_0133

We traveled from Kuching to Bako National Park today, about 45 minutes by bus and another 15 by boat. We were thrilled to see a proboscis monkey, several silver leaf monkeys ( some with babies), long tailed macaques and a family of bearded pigs. It was really hazy again, so I decided to try some black and white processing.

Works well in B&W. Nice silhouettes.

@deborah63 Thanks Debbie, it was a bit like your Perth picture, the colours were so washed out with the smoke haze, that black and white seemed the way to go.

Gorgeous capture! FAV

@yeshanghai Thanks.

Wow ...This scene is beautiful; almost mystical! Fav!

@dsp2 Thank you, the haze has meant that I've had to edit much more than I usually do.

Saw this on the fav fav thread! This is so beautiful... And a bit haunting (in a good way!)

@northy Thanks. I really like the look of dead trees in water. I would love to have seen this on a clear day with blue skies and ocean, rather than a hazy grey one.

@merrelyn I actually think the haze makes it infinitely more atmospheric... Love the black and white treatment too :)

@dsp2 Thank you so much for putting this up as your Favourite fav of the week. I was so thrilled to see it there :))
