very nice and precise, the mirror effect is great

Galeota (10352) 2004-09-13 6:15

In spite of the harsh morning light, you managed to have a good exposure, to which your polarizing filter was a good help undoubtly. Tha water seems to be a bit noisy, but that's probably related to the quality of the scan. I like the shapes and the games of reflections.

Excellent tittle Chris, indeed a mirror image, very lovely landscape photo, splendid colours, perfectly depth. Its these mountains natural, or are this artificial Chris ?
Thanks for posting.

comme le titre l'indique ...en effet joli miroir ...et toute netteté...les couleurs sont élogieuses...j'aime bien les montagnes dessinées et découpées différemment...le cadrage nous montre bien tout le panorama voulu...bravo...amicalement BI

Beautiful reflection. The special mountain formation and the fog create a nice depth.
I think some sharping is needed.

That place again, it just looks too amazing to be real, very good landscape shot.

chinchini (31529) 2004-09-13 7:15

Le décor est fabuleux Chris. Le jeu de reflets est réussi. Un petit manque de netteté après le scan ?
Merci pour le partage.

DonQ (2625) 2004-09-13 7:41

Amazing scenery Chris! Taken from a boat?
This is really unusual landscape. Great work. :-)
I must ask you: Sky is so beautiful clean, but I see a bit grain on water? That's strange. Did you have seen it?

Cheers, Don.

This one hill on the left side with the small houses at the bottom looks like a model. Fascinating and very well composed, Chris.

I like it very much.

nwoehnl (122) 2004-09-13 9:53

A beautiful scenery, Chris. Splendid reflections, good framing to fit all those uniquely shaped hills into the shot, and wonderful result of your work on colors and contrast. The houses do a wonderful job of lending scale to this one.

Vagabond (5848) 2004-09-13 10:12

A fantastic image with the moutains circling the river in amphitheater. Nice colours and good definition ..

Roly (2024) 2004-09-13 10:49

Very picturesque indeed, and great capture on film. Good use of the morning light and polarizing filter. Right in the spirit of TE!

Spoony (3539) 2004-09-13 10:52

I got no words to characterize this place... absolutly amazing. Great photo, no doubt about it.
Fine job Chris.

I presume it's what it's also call as " Guilin" ..

C'est surement un des coins les plus beaux de Chine

loupiot (3909) 2004-09-13 11:38

Very beautiful geologic landscape, Chris! Reflections and colors are great. I like this composition. Good job!

Impressive view and curves, very nice landscape and wondrfeul sky, I think it was important in this scene to have such a beautiful blue sky, thanks you had it, well seen.

bazal (7900) 2004-09-14 3:30

hdl (7035) 2004-09-14 6:45

I assume this is taken from a scan? It less "clean" that your other pictures. Nevertheless; it is an amazing landscape and an amazing capture. Well done; great shot with excellent colours, reflection and neatly balanced.

Georges (11185) 2004-09-14 6:56

Wahou ce lieu est vraiment très beau et les courbes présentes sur l'image donne toute la force a cette photo.
Très bonne profondeur de champ bravo Chris.

jean-marie (3088) 2004-09-15 15:07

Splendide !! J'ai l'intensité des couleurs au premier plan et la douceur des montagnes au fond. Cadrage interessant.

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-09-17 4:08

Fantastic picture, very beautiful colours and reflex.
Congratulations

kaychambers (1198) 2004-09-19 22:41

Great composition and a very nicely presented image. The graduation in the sky adds to your overall effect. Well done Chris.

Vic, Singapore.

oochappan (4880) 2004-09-22 6:11

Impresive dramatical view well composed with bright deep colors, nicely done indeed.

France (125) 2004-09-22 7:35

Quelle belle composition aux couleurs éclatantes. Beaucoup de sérénité se dégage de cette photo. Peut-être un manque de piqué (netteté) mais c'est sans doute à cause du scanner. De toute façon, on pardonne toujours le léger défaut d'une photo qui nous procure des émotions. J'aime bien le fond un peu brumeux.

alainh (33209) 2004-10-10 4:38

Hello Chris.
Your gallery is very nice.
I like this one ... and the others

Bonjour Chris,
A nice image of Yangshuo. The colors are very nice and the way you took it is a classic but effective way.
I kind of like going through galleries.
A nice place Yangshuo. I stayed there for a week I just got slides, and I am lazy to scan them.. My scanner isn't good anyway.

AmiBe (6042) 2005-06-12 11:52

Hi Chris,
fantastic landscape, colors and light are really nice.
I like these strange mountains, well done

mjdundee (4663) 2005-12-03 15:48

Hello Chris,
Very mystical exposure of a fantastic landscape. Doesn't look that sharp but the POV and reflections are great - one of your 'later period' photographs I recon.

Hi Chris - this is a random find, I couldn't resist, the picture perfect chinese scenery found in coffeetable books, and you were very lucky with the weather.
