Photographer's Note
The Perhentians are composed of 2 islands : Pulau Kecil (small island) and Pulau Besar (Large Island). Although Pulau Kecil is the smallest of the 2, it is the most touristic island, something that I tend to flee.
Pulau Besar has less shores, the rest is more rocky. Therefore the infrastructure (basic) is mainly located on the south western part of the island.
From the Perhentians, you can reach by boat other remoted islands that are magic.
I caught the fisherman searching for some gear in his boat. Unfortunately, he showed me half of his back when I shot the picture.
The colours and the rest of the composition were still interesting to allow myself uploading the picture.

Hi Alexandre,
quit posting these pictures they are making me jealous:) Really, great photo the water and clouds alone are very nice but the added interest of the boat makes it better, the only thing I might change is croping out a little bit of the blue sky.
Cheers,
Phil

Hello Alexandre, composition is simple but the colours and the use of light are just wonderful. I also liked the balance between the blue sky and the turquoise colour of the sea, which is seperated by the range of white clouds. Congratulations, Tolga

dear Alexandre,
a superb shot of splendid view indeed...
yellow boat with red flags is so vivid against amazing various blued sky,
the tone of layered pale and deep blue colors is heavenly,
fore water looks extremely clear and the air too,
and the fresh light looks drawing the back beautiful lines of cloud in the sky and cotton clouds on the horizon,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

I think this is one of your best shot, Alex. The rich detail of the clouds and the color contrast of yellow boat as the focal point make it tremendous seascape photograph.

Hi Alexandre,
What a wonderful series of pictures from Malaysia you've got there! This one is a stunner with its crystal clear turquoise waters, blue sky fresh with white clouds and jolly bright boat colors. Amazing combination. I wish I were in that boat too:)
