My Photo is Featured in Newspaper

I sent in a photo that I took at the Kuching Waterfront a few weeks ago and it was selected the best shot for the theme of 'The Splendid Sarawak' (砂拉越繁华的一面) in the Cyberworld (新媒體) of Sin Chew Daily (星洲日報) on Wednesday, 5th December 2007. I didn't know about it until I received an SMS from a friend who spotted it last evening and I quickly ran downstairs to grab the newspaper to read that section. I was so happy to see that my photo was selected as the best shot under the theme of yesterday's publication.






The prize-winning photo belongs to the set of photos that I have put up on my blog some time ago. You may click on the photo below to follow the link to that post. Thanks for reading this. :)

    Thanks Greg. This is my own translation of what the judge said: "The right timing and precise exposure brought up the colourful mood of the moment. The horizon is slightly tilted to the right. It could be better if the horizon is placed at 2/3 and include a boat passing by."
