[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of 500 vessels available to take visitors about 7km to the unusual islands of limestone. Early morning mist gives a mysterious element to this very special place. There are almost 2000 islands in this bay and most of them have names.

This is a World Heritage Area of outstanding natural beauty.

What a terrific part of the world - haven't been there but I've seen pics. This is a great composition, nicely framed. I like the everyday touch of the washing hanging out the back. I know you're not much into PP but I've taken the liberty of doing a workshop on this. Hope you don't mind.

Looks like Ha Long Bay...wonderful shot.

Hello Murray! Amazing boat. Wonderful scene. Good POV. Very good seascape. Interesting rocks. Perfect focus. Original picture. Good luck!

Hi Murray

Halong Bay is without doubt an exceptionally beautiful area of north Vietnam, & you've captured the magical atmosphere of the place well here. Tfs!

Hello Murray
Wonderful image of this beautiful boat and the difuse horizon line. I love the soft fog envolving all the frame. Beautiful photo and a great mood. Congrats, mb

Boa tarde Murray
This must be amazing.
I like so much the atmosfere of this boat, the fog... the islands?
Itīs magical and full of mistery for me. thanks
My regards

Great subject Murray and a competent composition of this shot. There is a haziness to it - even the boat itself - I'm not sure if that was environmental or due to processing.

I am a little bothered about the cut-off mast. At the risk of upsetting your composition, it might have been nice to see the mast in its entirety?

I am in SIngapore now, and I am going to see Richard tomorrow morning. I am going to his house and then to the zoo.
