[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Looking NE towards the tall karst limestone pinnacles which have a bizarre or dreamlike feeling when seen in the early morning mist. Seen here are just a handfull of approximately 2000 islands in Halong bay area.

If interested to see the number of islands, take a look using Google earth, amazing from space.

Hi Murray, & Howdy neighbour!

Very good shadow detail, & nice repetition of the boats. Superb sharpness, & well composed. A beautiful view of Ha Long Bay. Tfs, & Merry Xmas!

Hello Murray.
Indeed a wonderful place.!
Gorgeous picture but such a place needs to be seen with your own eyes.
That will make an impression in your mind for lifetime.!
Thanks for showing, Murray.
Cheers from Jan

Hi Murray,
What a beautiful seascape!
A great place to be there.
This landscape reminds me of Phang Nga Bay in Thailand.

TFS and greetings from Netherlands,
Adri

Nice Murray - good crop accentuates the image.. I do think a little more contrast would be really helpful though! The boat on the laft looks a little washed out for example..

Hello Murray,
A classic presentation of Halong Bay. The karst pinnacles remind me of those I have seen in Thailand (Phang Nga) and the Philippines (Palawan). I hope you post some of the cave pictures of Halong as they are also magnificent. My compliments and happy holidays. Danilo
