Georgetown Penang, a photo from Pulau Pinang, West

Photographer's Note

Hello friends in TE.

There is nothing political in this image. I took the shot once I checked in to my hotel room this morning. I like the blue sky and the cloud formation once the curtain was drawn. The building of this influential political party just happened to be in the view. This is the cityscape of Georgetown, Penang.

Regards.

... and the building's not spared from being draped with a Maxis giant bunting.

I'm sure you are not being political here, Jusni. But I sense an air of cynicism ;-)

Great take of the cityscape man.

Hello Jusni, very nice shot with beautiful colors and light. The sky has an amazing deep blue color that contrasts beautifully with the fat cloud at the left. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Kostas.

Abang Jusni,
Nicely captured of the city from your hotel room and your room must be pretty high up too!
it's great to include the beautiful clouds side by side the mighty building!
many thanks for the sharing

Hi Jusni,
the sky here helps very good the other part in the image.
It is good illuminated and the white cloud is a great plus here.
Have a nice time.

hi Jusni

What coincidence, they lost Kedah state. A good sky and light to capture city skyline using a building for framing. Red roofs giving you a nice contrast here. Not sure about building cut offs at bottom border. But a perfect sky and light for shooting.

Hi Jusni

Great looking blue sky contrasted with the cloud, i guess you have used the CPL. The effects is excellent. Would be nice to see a little more foreground building. There may be another building with a rocket on it in 10 years time!??

Salam Jus,
your trip to Penang was filled with splendid photos. This one especially has a certain meaning like Ewan? But photogrphically, the building was balanced with the big cloud, making it a good one. deep blue sky enhances the beauty of the photo. While not forgetting the orangy/brownish rooftops complement the contrast of the splashing colours.

Regards,
Foozi.

Hi Jusni,
This UMNO building look like all cover with cement and without window at this side ?
Good sharpness and good contrast, thanks for sharing.

I liked this pov cause the building looks so arrogant and has so beautiful shapes, he is like facing the white cloud while the town is in the lower area, waiting. Very nice light, colors and compo

hugs
