Guilin is a mystical and beautiful place, managing to capture its deeper soul is not, however, something for everyone.Here you did it to perfection.Incredible atmosphere with the fisherman that compared to the big cliff on the left could appears to disappear.But, on the contrary, the spotlight is just there.

Dreamy atmosphere is catching our hearts. The fact that the rock cliff was rendered blurry while the fishermen is in focus with perfect contrast add to the charm of the shot.

I would love to see in portrait mode or with the boat further on the right of the frame.

Congrats.

TFS.

Excellent image here conveying a great sense of time standing still at the end of the world

I also like the contrasting elements of the fisherman in sharp focus against the rock towering over him slightly obscured by the mist that seems endless

The fisherman slightly to the right would have topped it all off but we cannot have it all now can we :)

regards
John

Greetings JS,

This is an astoundingly beautiful photograph - with a slight touch of the surreal (or perhaps hyper-real) to add a large slice of mystery.

The fisherman and the rock to the left clearly add focal points to the shot, but this is so much more than just a good subject: you have worked hard to create a masterpiece here.

Well done and thank you, Iain

Hi JS.
Magnificent composition. You have managed to create a delicate contrast of misty background and fisherman sharpness in foreground. This is an old nederland paintigs atmosphere. Great job. Nice weekend.
