Ron:

Very nice.  I like the red and yellow kayaks giving a color and linear pop to the image, the color harmony with the flag and orange tones on the boat.  The color and lines pull you into the image, and then the eye wanders around the hills and towards the channel at the far end.  Very engaging image.

I would second Randy.  Nice image.

Thank you Randy and Akira.  While this is a very beautiful place, it was challenging to shoot.

Another stunning shot Ron!

I find that minimalist images may take your breath away for a moment, it is detailed and complex landscapes like these that can keep me entertained for a very long time!

Agree, it is another excellent image. the eye cannot help but travel over its entire surface. The composition within the frame is beautifully proportioned.
Having also taken a series of Ha Long Bay a few years ago, Mongo truly appreciates your ability to have brought out the colour in the hill sides and sky. Am enjoying your series greatly.

Thank you Peter, Frank, Mongo and Armando.  Imagine paddling around in a Kayak past those rocks...

Did you paddle ?

I sure did, but I left my camera behind because it was too splashy.  You get close to nature that way and a pair of sore arms.
