If I ever get the opportunity to reshoot this, I'd do it differently.

Having captured yesterday's shot of the dipping sun illuminating the fishing boat in Loh Dalam Bay I faced my camera the other way towards the sun. Since I'm working with a slide scan and was too lazy to re-scan it with different settings, I'm stuck with the colors captured in the slide. The challenge here is that there was no obvious neutral mid-tone from which to correct the color balance.
Having photographed the fishing boats tied up in Ton Sai Bay I walked back across the isthmus to Loh Dalam Bay and took this shot. The sun is on it's way down - certainly within and hour of sunset. The boat on the left is the same boat I photographed earlier that day from the lookout point in my photo Loh Dalam Refractions.
Having captured yesterday's shot I walked out along the jetty to get a different angle on the fishing boats - a tighter framing. Below is the result rendered in black & white, and below that the color version. As an indication of how friendly I found the local people here, note the fisherman just left of center of the photo waving at me.
Below is a view of how the jetty in Ton Sai Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don used to look. The crystal clear aqua water looks so inviting. This is a view to the south-west so looking at the way the sunlight plays on the limestone hills in the background, I would have taken this later in the afternoon.
