hi chris
i like the soft colours and the light here, and the way each line of trees or hill gets slightly softer the further away they get. it looks a lovely place, tfs.

Unreal.
Surreal.
Maximum appeal.

Hi Chris, great image again from you. Love those colors ! Great compo. Looks very 'other-worldy' for some reason.

Great work again.

Marleen

This is really a fantastic shot

Verty arty in its appeal Chris - reminds me of Roerich's water colours. A very well balanced composition.

Hi Chris,
Excellent composition with the layers of mountains and these great sunset tones. Great shot.

The soft colours are excellent Chris. They create very nice atmosphere. The inclusion of the setting sun just above the mountains works well.

You captured a nice and peaceful mood here,Chris!Amazing,monochromatic colors.

Very great POV and composition. Cold red athmospher is another thing Chris. Eyes likes these shot. Nice and neat.

My god! You would preseny that landscape for the pink hunt theme :)
It's beautifull!
I enjoy the curve you present in that river!

Hi Chris, all the elements are beautifully in place here, the reflection in the water, the sky the sun setting, mountains and trees. A well balanced composition. I particularly like the position of the sun in the composition and the aerial perspective of the hills in the background. You've captured an absolute winner here.

Like a painting, so very beautiful. Pure magic, M, (*_*)

Amazing shot, lovely pastel colors and great composition.

Beautiful scenery Chris. It looks like a pastel painting. Lovely pinks.

Hi Chris,
A picture of another world....
No words....just looking...!!!
Great picture (to my favourites).
Best regards,
José

Everything already seems to be said, but this is a very appealing shot. The soft colors and different layers are very appealing to me. TFS

What a place and a space! Deep, flat and almost monochromatic; great shot; a lust for the eyes.
Thanks Chris

Hi Chris, I haven't commented on your beautiful shot of the Mekong yet, but I must, I love the colours, the curvature of the shore, and the mountains in the fog.

It looks just like a painting. Very well done.

Tfs, Yan :)

Beautiful colors and composition. Very serene!

Wow, Stunning colors. One for ever underestimates the colors of nature. Beautiful composition. Well done..

The kind of photo that make me wonder if there is some agreement between the photographer and some gods.

Almost every page of thumbnails on this site will have a sunset shot; and yet the really good ones are breathtaking. This shot is fantastic. The sense of openness and space and size. Beautiful composition with the reflection of the red sky, great colours. Congratulations.

Beautiful surreal coloured image. Although the colours create an abstract mood, it is still a peacefull & tranquil mood. Beautiful scene and great placement of the sun in your composition.

Hi Chris,
This is one of your all times best.
Regards,
Pablo -

WOW! One more from your fantastic gallery!

Cheers,
Carla

I have just one word for this pic..EXCELLLLENT..!!! Looks like Mars has just got an atmosphere...

Great shot

Hi Chris, A marvellous coloured composition of this river. Plan to see something of the Mekong this Saturday, weather permitting. The colours and framing of this scenery is just right. Murray.

I love the Mekong river. Beautiful and peaceful in the sunset.
