I took this photo looking out over the boats waiting to pick up tourists after visiting supprise caves. It reminded me of sticks clinging together in a pond.

Very nice shot
Good control of exposure

Beautiful picture, good framing! Boats are sharp, they contrast with the foggy back ground. And the place and boats are beautiful.

Very cool shot. Very nice colors and nice, smoggy type of atmosphere. I love the commotion you have captured here. It seems to be a mixed chaos here and a miracle that non are hitting another. The boats also draw us into this photo as they lead deep into the scenery with their various positions giving a real sense of action. Perhaps it could use a bit more contrast to give it more depth. But everything else about this is very nice, to me. A very neat atmosphere captured nicely.

Nice view with interesting sharp boats!


You stated that this photo has been taken in Ha Long Bay, but the Province you gave is HA TINH.

In fact, Ha Tinh is the northermost province of Vietnam while Ha Long belongs to Quang Ninh Province, North Vietnam, near Hai Phong. For your consideration, here is the link:

[Ha Long Bay is a part of the Province of Quang Ninh and is located in the northeast corner of Vietnam. It is in the coastal area stretching from 106°56' to 107°37' East longitude and 20°43' to 21°09' North latitude].

Hope this is helpful to your record.

Regards,



Good shot: The fog around the island creating a soft background, the boats describing the livefull place Halong bay is. Finally the place itself, pirates used to hide there. No wonder, they usually looked for the most amazing places in the world. Thanks for remind me thiscorner of the world Ian.
