Rice Field 04 Photo

Photographer’s Note

A must-see and ideal place for "Hunters and Shooters"
"Tu Le - Mu Cang Chai - Khau Pha Pass", are very well-known places for travelers, especially for shooters who wish to hunt a breathtaking scene of rice terraces, of the local people and daily life. This attractive place belongs to Yen Bai province in the North-east region of Vietnam (more than 270km from Hanoi). We came here when the local minorities were preparing for a new rice crop. They were working on the fields, ploughing, taking the seeding rice out and planting them to the ready-made paddies. The best time to travel here is May/June and September/October when they start and finish a crop.

Impressive! Can we expect a close up of the workers planting rice who are in the left bottom corner?

A good framing to create a beautiful graphic effect.
Congratulations,

Quite an eye catcher, Tan! Interesting patterns showing the terraced ricefields, and also showing the contrast between harvested and the empty ones. Well seen and presented.
cheers,

These terraces are amazing, I do prefer version 6 with the people, but this gives a larger view.
Very very beautiful

Mind blowing patterns.

The green paddies add the colour.
