This is not Halong bay :) It's Limbe's landscape, 60km north of Douala.

Those long speed boats are said to belong to smugglers from Nigeria and they would try to import different goods from the nearby countries.

Limbe is quite interesting for its black sand beaches located at the feet of the 4000m high volcano Mt Cameroun.

Salut Steven,
voici une belle photo des îles Bota. Tu as bien reussi: le speed boat est bien clair et les couleurs soft font vraiment penser à Halong Bay. J'imagine que tu as passé le week end à Limbe parce que le fait d'assiter au coucher du soleil là-bas signifie tomber dans les terribles emboutillages de Bonaberi au retour!

Hello Steven,

I like long speed boat in your scene and different feeling of between background and foreground. The boat seems like silhouette but boatman’s clearly visible with their colored clothes. Your scene is beautiful in few color and its tones. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Bonjour Steven,
J'aime beaucoup les teintes et la composition de ton image. Celles-ci donnent avant tout une ambiance de calme et de beauté superbes. Les teintes de coucher de soleil (?) sont magnifiques.
Une très belle prise de vue !
Amicalement. Christian

Hi Steven!
A lovely compo, you've created the DoF by using the long zoom, the b/g is separated from the f/g by some fogginess. Fine colours as well.

Steven, beautiful shot with very gentle colors. Very good choice of composition with placing that lovely boat to foreground and leaving those beautiful islands in the background. Well done. Lucie
