"Fishermen know 99 methods to catch fishes
.. if they know 100 they will never can fishes a long time "
The picture is excellent . Cristalline !

Lovely view of an extraordinary landscape (geographically speaking, it's called a Karst formation). The ripples on the water are gentle and give the feeling of peacefulness and tranquility.
Well done.

• [2004-07-30 8:58]

Yep. There is not much to say. The scenery is beautiful. Fisherman's figure is placed exactly in the place where it should be, breathtaking gradients of grey on distant mountains and great sky reflecting in calm water.
The only flaw I see is slightly tilted horizon.

•  
• smoothdude (266)
• [2004-07-30 8:59]

Wow Howard.
Awsome.
The transition of natures ambience is captured perfectly.Time and motion almost seem to have stopped,The under water plants add great depth to the large mountains.The emotion that this picture conveys is one of complete contemtpness.
Well done.

Nice composition Howard. The reflections are beautiful and you were very lucky with the presence of the fisherman. It's a pity there is a lot of noise in the sky.

Stunning Howard! The reflections surrounding the silhouetted man are very fine, as are the colors in the sky that appear in the water as well. I did a workshop simply to remove the noise in the sky which in my opinion distracts from an otherwise perfect image. See what you think.

• [2004-11-12 12:26]

Absolutely magical! I love how the karsts are silhouetted, and the colours are surreal - almost like a painting. The fisherman adds extra interest.

I would have liked to hear more about the photo (time of day taken, etc.) - can you post more details?

I was looking for a photo like this on Trekearth & couldn't find it - the photo should have been filed under "Guangxi".

Hi Howard,
Just seen this as a featured image on TE. You Have every right to say nothing....you don't need words to convey the stupendous view. It has to be one of the most outstandingly beautiful images on this website. Simply perfect in every way. There are so many but subtle elements here but I especially like the limited tones and the low light. Simply beautiful.

The symmetry of the reflection is very nice. And I like where the man in the boat in positioned in relation to hills in the background -- he fits nicely in the "dip" between the mountain shadows.

This is an absolutely gorgeous scene -- such tranquility! Thank you for sharing. I would very much like to visit this area of China in person some day.

PS -- Can you give us a little description of where this image was taken -- what river or lake is pictured?
