Nhan’s photo scored 87 marks out of 100 in the Open/Nature Landscape category at the world’s largest panoramic photo event.

The jury panel awarded gold prizes to scores of 86 and above, silver for 80-85 and bronze for 70-79.

Phong Nam Commune is mainly inhabited by the ethnic Tay community who earn their living farming and fishing and live in traditional stilt houses.

At the start of October, rice fields along the Quay Son River, which forms a natural border with China, become golden in color.
