Life guard, Desaru beach, Malaysia. This life guard house seems to be tilted even when I'm not at the wide angle end of the lens and the horizon is straight! I like #1 due to the wind blown tree. Curves adjustment and sharpening applied on the photos.
Evening shadows on a bridge, Desaru, Malaysia. I had wandered far away from my friends and came across this small bridge with shadows. It's quite a moody photo for me. Curves adjustment (quite a bit of shadowing), sharpening and B&W conversion applied on the photo.
Out to the sea, Desaru beach, Malaysia. It was late afternoon, the sky was bright and there were very few people near this platform which lead to the sea. Curves adjustment applied on the photos.
Plants growing on a rusting fence, Desaru, Malaysia. A bit of distortion in #1 due to the wide end of the lens. The sun is behind the leaves in #2. Curves adjustment applied on the photos.
Cycles and clothes by a red wall, Desaru, Malaysia. This scene was near the workers' quarters at the ostrich farm. Reminds me of the kind of compositions that deepsan usually captures. Curves adjustment applied on the photo. Not saturated.
Baby ostrich hatching in an incubator, Desaru, Malaysia. We were at an ostrich farm, full of ostriches which give the visitors a dumb stare. Inside an incubator near the area where ostriches are hatched and bred was this baby pushing through its shell. It takes a long time for the baby to break the shell completely and be free.

An old Toyota in the backyard, in a village near Desaru, Malaysia. I came across many Toyotas in Malaysia like this one sitting in someone's backyard. It's a nice dark blue in color, but I liked the B&W version more since it makes the setting rustic. Curves adjustment and B&W conversion applied on the photo.
A grimy sink, Desaru, Malaysia. Curves adjustment on the photo. I would've gone darker with the curves, but wanted the crescent and star signs to be visible.
Skylight, at a fruit farm, Desaru, Malaysia. The skylight is covered with a plastic sheet with fake wood-like patterns on it. Photo was underexposed on purpose. Curves adjustment and sharpening applied on the photo.
