It's a nice series, thanks for sharing.

Had to use high ISO at some points? I see some grain in #2. #2 and #4 my picks, but if only #4 got no humans. Understand that it's impossible sometimes while you're no tour though.

Thanks for viewing.
All were taken at ISO 100 actually. A bit of noise in the sky areas of #2 was probably casued by post-processing. I was trying to get more blue to show up in the sky.

Personally, I don't mind humans in the shots some of the times as they could help to give a sense of proportion or scale to the whole scene eg. in #2, the presence of the people gave the viewer an idea of how big the bridge really was.

Nice pictures. My pick is #4.

Same as night86mare, I prefer #4 without the human element (or with one that don't look so modern). Also can pp the few darker leaves at the right.

These were IR pics of the hills as seen from the cruise boat on the LiQiang River in Guilin.

Nice shots you've got there. :thumbsup:

 

[giantcanopy]

nice clean shots, IR adds that very extra-sensory kinda feeling to them

the hue of humans look a tad scary though
