The iconic Longji Rice Terraces is blanketed by golden rice paddies in the month of October. Also called as “Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces” as it resemble a dragon’s scales and the mountain range looks like the backbone of a dragon. It is one of the most beautiful rice terraces in the world and has different looks in different seasons.

This is an amazing image, as most of your photos are. I'd have given it a 4 but it's missing a clear focal point while the highlights are distracting. If this were my image, I'd:
-crop it slightly tighter to remove some of the left and bottom of the image, getting the hut on the right third and removing some of the highlights in the left.
-push the white and highlights in the sky down a bit more.
- Increase shadows, clarity etc with a local adjustment on the hut, to make it a better focal point.

I don't like the watermark in the center. If you feel like you need the watermark, I think it would be much less distracting in the lower left corner.

I didn't mean to be overly harsh. It's an amazing image - one of my favorites in this contest.

great photo, watermark is very distracting thou
