Hello Paolo,

This is a compelling shot, the five men standing in the dugout, on the Li River and a magnificent pastel sky. Excellent composition, perspective and colors.

Warm regards from Virginia, USA.

Hi Paolo,
A perfect travel shot. The background, the placement of the boat and the composition all looks perfect.

Hi Paulo,
First of all, a warm welcome to TE. I really like the view of this Chineses countryside, and the composition is very effective with the foreground boat well positioned in the frame. Nice capture of the men's reflections in the river which brings a nice "dash" of colour to the photo. I think that the frame is maybe a little over-powering and could have been smaller in dimension. Overall, very well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Paolo, this is a very excellent shot for a first post, very well composed with great light, colour and balance between your background mountains and sky, and the fishermen. Very nicely presented.

Thanks, and welcome to TE, John

Hi Paolo,

That's a great starting post! Welcome here on TrekEarth!!
Haha, nice yellows you caught there. Surely makes up for the uneventful sky. Also like the little lonely palm trees in the distance at the shoreline. Nice one!

Greetings,
Dennis

Very beautiful colors in this dynamic composition! I love the clouds in the sky and the reflections in the water! Well done! Thanks for sharing!

Great shot, Paolo.
Remarkable scene and great colours. The landscape is strange but impressive, and it's great to capture people against this background. Quite difficult to get a good exposure in this scene, but there is plenty of detail in the shaded areas.
Welcome to TE!
Regards,
Andrew

Yellow made such a beautiful contrast in your picture relaxing the eye with the scarlet reflection on water. I would like to ask if you have been happy with Powershot pro 1. It is not that bad to change, but not as satisfactory as SLR. Can not decide. Thanks.

Ciao Paolo:
I wonder the nice picture was taken by Canon powershot, why you need Canon 1D Mark III?
