It's interesting to see how some terraces are flooded and others are dry, I guess it's not a function of wet or dry seasons? Anyway, fantastic geometry in the landscape, I like how the angle of light brings out the flooded terraces while the crop avoids potentially overexposed areas above the frame.

amazing, beautiful photo, well composed, love the streak of relfected water coming diagonally acrosss the ridges of green! Well done!

Hi Le,
this is a cool photo. Composition and POV are really outstanding. The valley full of terraces is simply magnificent. I didn't know places like this existed outside the Philippines. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice composition with beautiful shades of green. But INHO it lacks sharpness, which spoils a little bit the pic strength.
Cheers,

Hi Bich

Wow those patterns are looking amazing. I wonder how it would be like the see the whole range. Love the composition.

Lopshang.

Fine photo Bich.
Too bad we didnt get together for shooting in this area. I was there in sept / oct, but it was harvest season, so the fields were mostly yellow and brown color. I like the super green color and the water adds a nice piece to the image as well.......
Did you travel by motobike from Hanoi?
