Yulong river

Bernardo Medina (Houston, TX)
Photographed October 2007, China

“The Karst hills of the Guangzi Province in China filled my head with wonder,” says Medina. “I stood there lost in the atmosphere, looking upon a primitive landscape with uncommon beauty while quiet words repeated endlessly in my mind: we are just passing travelers on this old earth.”

Congratulations Bernie!!

WOW, a very nice picture and very pleasing to the eye. Thanks again for shearing.

Outstanding!!

Not only is this a beautiful picture but it has so many elements that make it pleasing to the eye. I hope you win.

Wish I could be there too, to enjoy the serenity.

All the photos are wonderful. This one, however, has texture; like a tapestry. Perfect.

Wanna go somewhere for a little quiet R&R in a remote, isolated location far away from modern technology and urbanization? This is the place!

P.S.: And don't "call me when you get there," because you will ruin the (your) moment!

I'm voting for this pic because of the many, many components that make up the best of the best.

Composition, foreground, mid-ground, background, combination of natural and man-made elements, human interest, lighting and color: this picture has it all!

Very nice, Exelente!

The mountains don't look real, more like a child's zig-zag line pretending to be mountains. Wow.

Image is quietly, stunning beautiful--kind of surreal and primitive! The rocky formations in the background remind me of a facial profile. Good luck on winning People's Choice Award.

I want to be in this picture. It is absolutely amazing. The sun and the calming water makes me wanna be there and forget about the world. I hope you win.

fantastic image!

This is a really nice shot Bernardo!
