Description Sometimes you just have to go somewhere you consider as paradise. You just have to take a break once in a while. Think of it as a reboot of your life, and of yourself as a computer. It's a well deserved break after all the hard work and stress in your life.


This was taken in the famous Boracay Island in the Philippines during New Year. Hope you like it. Comments and Constructive criticism are appreciated.

this is so beautiful.
it looks like the island is on fire.
i feel like the cloudy sky gives it too much of a sad feeling. then the island just looks so hapy and peaceful. the sky gives it a bad feeling...like something bad is about to happen.

beautiful shot though.

The composition could be a bit better [Rule of thirds could be better along the horizon line]

The contrast is great, and how the trees are blurry is great.

Great work here

That's the whole point of rules.
They exist to be broken... don't you think?

mental3pal In reply to thephotoshot [2008-02-01 19:59:00 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but in this case i think the using the rule of thirds along the horizon line would better suit this photo and improve it, im not saying that every photo has to follow it no matter what other wise its not perfect.

Even a crop to make the horizon line run along the center and make the photo more symmetrical would help improve it. And that would be breaking the rule of thirds.
