US magazine honours Vietnamese photographers

American National Geographic Magazine has honoured photos taken by Vietnamese photographers for overall excellence in print magazine photography on a number of occasions in 2014.

In March, a best photo title went to Vietnamese photographer Ly Hoang Long for a photo “golden net”, depicting a fisherman catching fish in the early morning hours. The photo was taken at Cua Dai Beach in Hoi An City.
