Soma: wow!!! Like that resort mall idea. Been to KL many years ago...its obviously gotten superduper fantastic now! Fantastic pics Harsh!!
Judy, Canada: Harsh, I think your calling should have been tour guide and photographer for a big company or even your own company. I feel if I could travel and had the money your photos make me want to go for the adventures also. You show the heart of the trip in excellent pictures. I really enjoyed them.
Suchit:
Nice pictures considering how little time you must have had. Did you go up the
Twin Towers to the bridge?
I liked the (last) shot of the hotel & the canals and the rooms look great too.
Thanks for sharing.
No we did not go up there as you have to queue at 7 AM to go up to the bridge in the Twin Towers. I think it's better to go up the KL Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur) as you can go much higher and get a fab view.
Suchit: "I
think I just ripped my pants!"
Oh really??? Let me see... Hmmm ...
Just so that you don't feel left out, let me do the same...:-D [Zafar

Soma: the last one is lovely! :) -soma [she is referring to me dancing with Swarup at Langkawi!]
Suchit:
Ahhh the lovely couple. It was hot out there Harsh isn't it?
Or was it the slow dance. :)
How about both?? ;-)
Suchit: Ahhh that was close...[Eagle taking off at Mangroves]
Suchit: Have you seen my cap... only problem is that it keeps slipping away or should I say swimming away. :) [man at fish farm]
Rashmi, USA: Very nice!
Suchit: What a nice capture of such a pretty girl. She looks so happy and comfortable with you as a photographer and that shows in the image. Nice work. [Chandani in brown-gold dress]
Suchit: Another very nice capture. I'm sure the family loves this image. If you rotate the image a tiny bit CCW and crop the top line out, then print in large size and frame it maybe on canvas, then it can easily be "the one central picture" hanging in their house. All three look so happy in there. Good work. [Chandani with parents]
Suchit: It was nice to see the images and share in the happiness. Some tough lighting conditions but good candid shots. Great to see some familiar faces. [Lighter - wilder moments]

Harsh!
Your Bali pics are spectacular. For me they are particularly attractive cos I also stayed at the laguna resort, Nusa Dua and visited the Uluwatu temple. Unfortunately it was 3 days of conference and couldnt do more sightseeing or shopping except a hurried visit to Kuta. Looking at your pics gives me a bit of satisfaction and a bit of envy as to what I missed. But that's better than not having seen it at all.
Cheers

Hi, Harsh. I love the closeups of the the iguana and the chameleon ... talk about true reptilian portraits! A just-right blend of soft lighting with sharp focus on the main subject makes each of these snapshots especially dynamic in their photographic quality. The setting of the iguana almost in camouflage on the "matching" stony ground as it's coming out of the shadows has such an ancient "Jurassic Park" intrigue to it ... and his "wise-and-weatherworn" face looks truly like he's the "grandfather" of this reptile park. Another favorite of mine is the tree frog on glass that looks like it's literally suspended in the darkness of night. As for the closeup of the tarantula ... (*shudder*) ... I quickly passed on viewing THAT photo in any way other than the small thumbnail format! LOL.

Harsh, it is such a treat to travel with you to so many exotic far-away places via your photos ... and your preliminary narrative along with the individual captions add to the total experience! :-) My absolute favorite photo in this Bali batch is on the last page ... the vertical shot of the nightlit pool at Laguna Resort. I like everything about it: the plentiful lush foliage, the composition encompassing the gentle curve of the pool's edge, as it captures the golden glow of the trees reflecting into the still waters. It has an enticing ethereal quality. ~ Becky >^,,^<

Vispy: Great snaps!!! The south Pacific is so full of natural beauty! Wish you had shot more of the temples totally Hindu in design showing what a great country India must have been to stretch the empire to S.E. Asia!!Bali I am told is beautiful and daunting!!! Ever since the movie South Pacific was made have always thought of Bali as EXOTIC! Incidently this movie was tthe first to use Todd AO a technology patented by Micheal Todd- one of the many husbands of the erstwhile Elizabeth Taylor- to make movies look like a total 3-D effect.The opening shot is one of Bali when a Marine is landing and a sweep of the camera to the volcano and the mountains of Bali!!!Long winded comment but the photos are super as always!!
Vispy
Thanks for your words Vispy & I remember South Pacific vividly, especially it's song Bali Hai!
There are many pictures yet to by set up which include villages, temples and more!
Harsh
Judy: Hersh, of all the trips you have posted this looks like the most relaxable and also beautiful place.
I so wish I had the health and wealth to make such gorgeous trips. The pictures make me feel I am there with you a Swarup enjoying the rest and surroundings.
You may take me on a photo trip all the trips you take and I can keep on pipe dreaming.
Love the photos

Roopal: Ok, when I visit (the place - Bali ) I'll send you my feedback!
Wonderful photos...really.
Roopal
Suchit: Seems like a lovely place.
Rani: Your trip pictures are breath taking, I wish I could have joined you and your family, if there a possibility that you could notify us in advance where you are going next and I could join you, it is much more fun to travel with someone who has so much experience then bus tours. I hope that this option will be open to me.
