Sea Kayaks, Phang Nga Bay National Park, Phuket, Thailand, 2016

Throngs of tourists, mostly from China and Japan, are drawn to Phuket’s Phang Nga Bay National Park largely because this is where much of the 1974 James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Roger Moore, was filmed. Tourists will usually first explore “James Bond Island,” where the film’s main villain had his hideout. Later, they move on to explore hidden the collapsed cave systems at the base of many of the park’s soaring limestone monoliths. They search for them by Sea Kayak. I photographed five of those kayaks in this image. The vivid red jackets of the kayakers provide a striking contrast to the gray and brown limestone and lush foliage that dominates the image.

You are right about the contrast in color here, Carol. That makes the photograph speak. If this would have been in black and white, it would have said very little. Thanks for this comment.

I like the way you portray "tourists" here with a marvelous repetition of bright color against the fantastic background. Usually tourists are not great for photographers but you made this shot work OF tourists. Bravo, Phil!
