What an amzing quilt of greens, I love the reflections on the water. I think maybe you could remove the sky as it is too bright. Lovely photograph

It's really a nice colourful pattern you got there!
I think I would make a crop of the top to loose the "dull" sky & hills which are a bit too light, blurry & misty.

What a revealing landscape of how different things are in the argricultural landscapes of this world. Stunning greens that evoke the richness of vibrant growth.Well done Anh.I agree with Viviane"s suggestion to crop out the sky ...it appears a little over saturated where it joins the horizon.

What a place. Looks like its straight out of a vietnam film, only its peaceful. Excellent composition, super colours. Well done.

Definitely worth the balloon ride (how much was it?). Brilliant capture on the landscape and color on this one.

Now I know what I miss out on by not getting up before 9.30 when I'm on holiday :-)

The shades of green in your photo are fabulous! The blue water in the lake provides a nice place on which to rest your eyes. The sky looks a little over-exposed but remains unobtrusive because the rest of the composition is so strong. I tried viewing the photo with the sky cropped and it also works well.

Nice one. I have never really seen a rice field before. I always wondered what the Japanese symbol for rice field meant. Now I understand.
Thank you.

Very, very good landscape. I wonder about the aperture you used (f4) which did not avoid a very good DOF. Congratulations ..
