Unadulterated, a photo from Mindoro Occidental, Southern Tagalog

Photographer's Note

This is the shore of the Apo Reef Natural Park in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines.

Being a natural park and a protected area, it is basically uninhabited and resorts are not allowed nor permitted to be built there. Its reef system is the world's second-largest contiguous coral reef system and the largest in the Philippines.

A limited number of local and foreign divers are allowed to do some scuba-diving with strict supervision from the protected area superintendent.

Ciao Michelle
la natura delle Filippine è straordinaria perchè è evidente - come in questa foto - che è rimasta allo stato vergine, lontano dalle contaminazioni che il turismo è solito apportare.
Molto bello il soggetto e piacevole anche la composizione che unisce cielo , mare e terra in un insieme dalle tinte assai delicate.
Ciao e buon fine settimana
Romano

Hello Michelle,
Like the contrast between the vegetation and the sand on the beach. Nice diagonal presented by the beach across the frame. Beautiful calm and serene atmosphere, which I like a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Subho

Hello Michelle,
beautiful place and nature!
And we can only be glad it´s so well preserved and not completely trampled by tourists.
I like here also the color scheme of the scene with these delicate colors.

Have a nice sunday
Krzysztof

Hello dear Michelle,

Please forgive the delay in responding to your last critic... I had an overload of work etc & needed to take a short break from one of my activities...which was TE.

Now I love the simplicity of this photo - the colours & the sense of remoteness - just lovely...I can imagine myself there.

Kindest regards,
Dawn.
