not much editing other that just a warm filter

what strikes me as so remarkable about this photograph is that it actually puts me at peace. when a picture can so strongly affect mood like that, I think one's really accomplished something.

Just beautiful. The colors really add to the photo. It makes me want to be on the Yulong. A little bit of wide angle distortion in the bottom, but otherwise nice framing.

I totally wanna see you're I architectural work if you're this good with photos.

I had to contemplate on that photo! It is very interesting photo because it opens a kind of new dimension to the viewer. The viewer can actually enter the picture and live the moment as those two people.

I have a feeling, when I'm looking at the photo, I can somehow reach that bamboo boat and rest for a while.

The photographer have presented a subjective camera in which lies the main motive at the foreground, the bamboo boat, the main focus. It leads the eye and the viewer through the scene. I give 7/7.

I free hand drew the spiral I saw in this image, then laid a Fibonacci grid on it and then cropped it square. Interesting... t

......mmm, you see with the mind's eye, thank you for such an interesting comment

I thought I posted an image with that comment... One more try

... t

Not sure why I now see both. Sorry for the redundancy. Perhaps a moderator could help me out?... t

the image with your original comment does not show up,...I went to your page to see it,.....comes up when you click on 'Response to Yulong river'........many thankies again

Lovely, yet disturbing image. At first, I was seduced by the golden light, and then realized that it must result from terrible pollution. Oh, my. The sweeping arc of the boat at the bottom was intriguing, but I suspect it is an artifact of lens focal length/proximity to camera, so on closer examination I liked it less.

 

Yulong river and sky did not have this pollution in 1984 when I visited. What a shame for the country and the world. What a subtle and seductive way to show it.

Stunning. Looks like it has been painted.

I love the color in this photo.

very amazing picture love the contrast and color of the picture

SOTTI VALO(really devine)!

stunning image and colors

Elves have an interesting taste. Surreal would be a possible adjective for it. This picture is a nice mix of indulgent tourism with the purity of the chinese photographer who only posts those trained fisher cormoran birds on rivers.

Amazing capture, I wish I were there with you, learning how to shot like this. Wow, what a shot, great shot.

Absolutely gorgeous. Congratz!

Excellet Image.

The composition, colors and timing are absolutely fantastic.
