[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Loess gully area in the Loess Plateau of China. Taken on a flight, in the 10,000m air over Shanxi province. Shanxi and Shaanxi are neighboring two different provinces in China, they are bordered by Yellow river/Huanghe.

A typical agriculture and forestry landscape, the ecological conservation has been well done there in recent years. For the people who convert steep-slope farmland into forests or grass land, the government will compensate them about 2,250kg grains per hectare per year.

Amazing landscape taken from the plane. All the terracing shows up clearly making it look like a relief map. Maybe a bit more contrast at the top would help. Well done

Hey Zhongyi

Well, you`ve had the perfect POV there. Beautiful, almost mystic scenery, with an interesting selection of colors. I would just contrast it a bit perhaps and sharpen it a bit.

Regards.

aerian view is the best to understand a place; here agriculture want place but erosion must also be a problem, so this governement compoensation is a good way.
what is the agricol production plaease, riz or cereals?

I saw these landscapes many times from the train, it looks much nicer from the air ! The photo could be a bit sharper but the view is fantastic, you probably zoomed quite a lot from that altitude !
Compliments, TFS,
Cath.
