The mountain around are reflecting in the water of this rice paddy.
Have a nice weekend (I am off and will be back on late sunday)
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Very nice B&W. The curved lines targeting towards the background`s center play very nicely here.

Très belle perspective avec ses rangées de plantation de riz que l'on a plus l'habitude de voir en couleurs. Le résultat est probant !

This is a very confident b&w and I am envious of the conversion here. The composition with the harsh cut-off at the top works exceptionally well to my eye.

marvleous -- the velvety blacks are really doing it for me here! although the crop at the top left is a bit distracting... maybe bring the crop down so you cannot see the black of the shadow at the top? maybe? gorgeous photo!

j'adhère toujours autant au noir et blanc et la perspective est très belle.
