Bonjour, Dominique

I liked the WC Mongkol shot from thailand, in one of my favorite spots in the whole country, but I think this one deserves a look it hasn't got so far.

It seems these people are living on the water, Are they navigating or staying at the same spot? Quite curious, we imagine boats in that bay to have sails.

You had a real steady hand here, but I think there is a rule that worked here, the 1/3 one, as the houseboats are a bit centered. Also, by taking less expanse of the water, you could shoot the mountain even higher and make its stillness more imposing, against the drifting habitations. IMO, of course.

Tiens, tiens, cela me dit quelque chose...
Le sujet me plaît beaucoup et ton cadrage repositionne bien la maison dans son environnement.

Hi Dominique. Beautiful photo. Several things I like about this shot. The boats add lively colour to the rest of the photo. The boats also show the enormity of the cliff. The colour of the water and the lighting are well done. This is an excellent decisive moment shot. Thanks for posting...
