[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
A few weeks ago I posted a shot from this place. This is another view, taken a few minutes down the river.

While in China, I did a 3 day cruise along the Yangzi river.

This is a beautiful river with many interesting monuments on its margins and it goes through some fabulously beautiful gorges. Unfortunately a massive (the biggest in the world) dam was recently built there and the water was predicted to rise about 175m, flooding most of the more beautiful gorges and quite a few cities. Besides ruining the scenery the dam will be an environmental disaster.

I was there in 2003, the year they first closed the dam gates and the water had already risen about 75m. I had always wanted to see this river and hurried there when I found out this was going to happen. The scenery was so incredible beautiful that it was sad knowing that that was the last chance to see it, and to imagine how it had been before the 75m water rise.

Besides the river itself, it was quite an interesting and fun experience to live for three days in a boat filled with only Chinese tourists, but that would take to long to write about…

This was shot at sunset and the light, along with the mist, created a kind of magical ambiance.

Ola Ricardo,
I like your shot up the river, framed by the rocks, getting closer until the river bends and it seems to dissapear in the haze. Soft colors enhance the atmosphere!
Well done
Knut

Hi Ricardo.
Very nice view of the yelllow river.
I am very sad that people destroy nature for their own purposes. At least we have your beautiful picture.

Hi Ricardo

I did this cruise in 2002. Good idea to go to the baack of the boat to avoid the crowds at the front. I like the lighting color & mood of the Chang Jiang (Long River). Parabens!

Very exotic view. Fine pespective. Excelent layers of mountains on the background, but this horizontal frame is rather disturbing.

Hi Ricardo
Another fantastic scene but again I'd prefer it without the blurred black framing.
Susanna

An incredible picture looking down the river towards the layers of mountains. The dusk lighting does indeed create the magic you describe.

Hi Ricardo.
Very nice panoramic view. The POV, as the colours, is good and has a good depth.
It's a simple, but good work.

Regards.

Bonsoir Ricardo
superbe point de vue avec des couleurs sublimes. J'aime cette sensation d'avancer dans ta photo.
merci pour le partage
Xavier

Ricardo
Great atmosphere here and the readish sky is magic. Good framing and a good composition to create impact. It's a shame what is happening to this scenery which will be lost forever. What a disaster!

Hello Ricardo, it's a lovely picture of this beautiful scenery. You have captured the vastness of this huge gorge very well. I like the colours and misty effect very much.

Hi Ricardo,
A well composed shot of this famous river. I like how you have captured the expansive mood of the river and its rich chocolate brown colour. One can imagine oneself on a boat travelling forward into the frame and gazing up at the interesting hills and mountains. Very well done.
John

Hi Ricardo
Very impressive river in these deapth valley.
Soft colors, typical of China mystic mist.
Well done
JP

This is a very particular and attrctive landscape with this lemon colors for the river and sharp cliffs falling into the river.
Grandiose and a chinese version of "LA RIVIERE SANS RETOUR" ( a great film).

Hi Ricardo,
Nice shot, it looks like a film.
I like the color and composition.

Great indeed Ricardo,

I wish I was there with you. I really must organize a trip to China this year. Great and soft colors of the Yangtze: I would have added some more contrast with PS perhaps I am not sure.

Many thanks - Izzet Keribar

ps. I was in Izmir the whole week, and in Bergama (Pergamon ) you simply cannot imagine the quantity of pretty and friendly cats which were on the streets.. You call them ( In Turkey we say" psss, pss," and they simply run and jump into your arms: As a cat lover like yoıu I was very excited to caress them all the time. Izzet

I´m studying chinesse right now because I want to reach a deep knowledge of this country before visit it. But photos like this one makes me want to go right now, I like the framing, with the black up and down, giving more sense of look, like we were on board this boat. Parabens Ricardo and obrigado.

Hi Ricardo,
Very nice view of this river. Colours are beautiful ond original
Well done

I saw a TV program about the dam - it is so sad that they are doing it. I like the colours here, especially the glow on the waters. Well done, thank you
Janice

Hi Ricardo
You were a lucky man to catch this view before the dam started to work. But I have strong imagination and i see the surface of the lake much higher. Very impressive photo, especially in connection with the note.
Greetings

ricardo,
a nice passage and great atmosphere there.the river has an ambiance with all those mountain lines give a way and dramatic colors on.
regards

Paisagem magnifica! Infelizmente há povos e culturas que na marcha do “progresso” não aprendem com os erros dos outros e só quando sofrerem gravemente as suas consequências vão entender os alertas que lhes faziam…

Quanto à paisagem é realmente magnífica. Não só pelas escarpas mas pela forma como a luz difusa acentua a distância entre eles trazendo muita profundidade à imagem.

Wonderful capture of what is becoming a very famous location. This captures a series of layering which is not often seen. We would all like the river to be blue or green but this silt goes on to help make other areas fertile, so we can forgive that.

Hey
This is a very good foto, it has a great magical atmosphere.

Peter

Hi Ricardo,
And the layers are beatifully composed to make up this wonderful image! Great perspective, the way lighting is reflected from the river adds life and interest value... Very well done!

Hej Ricardo,
The hazy mountains in the background look just beautiful here and the light is also excellent. The streaming water in front adds some dynamics to the shot. Very well done!

Hi Ricardo!!
Cenario, cores, texturas e enquadramento espetaculares. Belo momento.
Um grande abraço meu amigo.

Hi Ricardo
Going thru your old images, I was fascinated by this one. I like the layers formed by the mountains & the lack of colours except the subtle golden (?) hue in the image. The borders of the image also look natural..are they?

Ricardo,
O incrível aqui são essas paredes de pedra nas margens do rio, como a indicar que a qualquer momento pode existir uma corredeira forte... Acho que não ficaria totalmente tranquilo andando de barco por aí... Legal você mostrar.

Abraço

Paulo
