hi chris, i must say that you have a special skill to pick up the places of a beautiful harmony of yellow and blue, and this today's posting is a perfect example of that skill!
i simply love how well the warm tones "co-operate" with the cold ones;
have a nice week, jerzy

Impressive mix of colours here. I like the misty mood of this image and the perspective granting a good depth to the composition.
Well done!

Hi Chris,
A excelent atmosphere in a simphony of blue tones and the Yeallow-Green foreground. Nice view and enquadrement. The misty clouds over the lake are also a must. Like Jerzy say it's your fine skill.

Very well seen and done. Congratulations!
best Regards.
Fernando

Hi Chris,
A good panorama view of this nice place, I like the warm yellow field in good contrast with the cold colors on the rest of the photo.
Have a nice day,

Hi Chris,
The clouds hovering above the lake add charm to this already beautiful scenery. The fertile green reflects well in the ripening paddy which protrays a successful year. The harvest festival after this would definately be a happy one. Cantik sekali!! Regards.

Beautiful view, Chris, with colors as if in a watercolor painting, and a fine rendition of the special atmosphere with the light and the fog. Good choice of the pano format. Cloning the electric pillar might have been an option; on the other hand this is of course more realistic ;)

Hi Chris
The combination between the yellow colours on the foreground and the blue colours together with the white clouds give a luxury composition. Again a beautiful image of Sumatra.
Best regards,
John.

Hi Chris. What a wonderful array of bright colors. I can't believe this shot turned out that well going that fast. Thanks goodness for fast shutter speeds! Good one Chris.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-10-03 22:14

Cormac (26449) 2005-10-04 1:23

For a shot from the bus this is incredible! I like the splash of yellow that dominates this shot, but the clearing clouds are also great because it gives the shot some nice atmosphere. Well done!

huynt (5077) 2005-10-04 7:34

weswang (18223) 2005-10-04 10:56

Hi Chris, I like the color combinations in this picture. Excellent color contrast. It is fun to see the rice paddy color changes from green to golden color. The mist on the lake made a wonderful background. Beautiful picture.

Taken from a moving bus? You wouldn't say so. The image is very good; the panorama is stunning. I like the different colour areas and especially the clouds above the lake are stunning.
