Man this is cool. I really like the POV and the mountains behind clouds & mist really makes this shot happen for me. I also like how you managed to squeeze the two folks into the frame as well...but would have been better if you moved a bit to the right so the trees wouldn't cover them as much as they are now. Anyway, wonderful scene. Good work.

Many nice colours here. Any PP?
You certainly got a very good moment with the light, the blue and light-blue sky, the yellow and red plants, and the colourful person walking on the left side.

Hi Tai,
Very nice coulours and light. When I finished my Myanmar trip I met a friend in Kota Kinabalu who was there for a conference and he was climbing it that weekedn with some friends. Too bad that my flight was Saturday night, so I missed it.
Regards
Daniel

I think that after "Early morning on the Mekong" I didnt see any photo from your gallery. I wasnt here on TE for a longer time.
What a shame for me.
:-)
This photo is so nice, live. The clouds are really amazing with this fog. It is strange the mix of fog and sun. That makes this greta atmosphere in your photo.
Good composition and I like the people there walking.
Superb!

Hi Tai

I like the low angled pov, looking up the stairs. Excellent lighting, contrast, & sharpness, with the fog & mist adding a special, atmospheric mood. Well done!

Wow, this is really mystical feelings. The clouds seem to enshroud everything near and far. The colors add to the feel. And the person moving along the left side links up well with the line of plants moving back to the right and helping create a path right up to those peaks. And what a great color up in the sky.

I like this one. The drifting clouds is good, contrasting well to the rest of the compo. The inclusion of the people is also good, and the perspective works well. Nice one T.

Hi Tai,
Mt.Kinabalu was beautifully taken through you and shown it to the world ! I always proud of this mountain which is the highest in SEasia,espicially that's where I came from, after many years in NZ.
Your photos are so clear and the angle of taking is so brilliant, remind me the several trips been up there! thank you for sharing and greeting to you !
