Two halves of the floating market, a photo from Ratchaburi, Central

Photographer's Note

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a scene seen from a small bridge there. The place is very busy, more tourists than locals I think, it is very difficult to catch a clear scene, you have to focus on some details, persons, features... or start thinking about geometry.

another picture uploaded from Cambodia ;) I am still there... and I think I have some really interesting stuff to bring back home :) I hope you'll see it soon.

Great composition in two parts.
The light and the sharpness are excellent.
The fact that we don't see the face of the woman gives a more original and graphic image than if we do.
The colors are bright and beautiful.
A very nice photo, congratulations Maciej !
And have a nice trip there ;-)

Nice colours here, the composition and viewpoint are good. I especially like the swirling patterns in the water from the paddle.

Really nicely built. Is it the original framing ? As a matter of fact, I find the shape & color contrasts from left to right really interesting and appealing. I believe you have the top small packs a little overexposed but that's not really bothering for the whole picture.

Nice to see you back Maciek. Hope you are having a great time.. i have been waiting for your pictures..
That one is a real maciek shot.. You better start thinking about your next profession Maciek.. You have the chance to be really young and do whatever you want.
Just superb....

Really good eye for the composition here Maciek, that is very well done. The colors are great too. Not sure how much it would be in your control, but the only slight downside to this shot is the slight overexposure at the top. This really doesn't hurt things much and the shot is great overall.

I assume the dump you went to was the same spot Philip Coggan has documented? I hope your trip is going great Maciek.

Great balance there Maciek, good colors and amount of details, the overexposed part is actually working well. Yet another one to envy!

great shot from above, I havent seen a shot like this before, it is a little overexposed at the top right hand corner, but on the whole, it is really beautiful, well done indeed

Yes, an interesting shot of a rather Thai-cliche. Actually haven't made it to that district yet. Looking forward to your Cambodia photos.

very nice angle and colors maciek.. But maybe the bananas are a bit overexposed on top? great sharp focus on the blouse and the hat;-) funny how you decided to divide the frame in two halves...

GGreat compodition, Maciek. I like the POV and the crop very much. The hat, the bannanas, the hands, the purple shirt create a wonderful image. The re is amazing effect of the light ob the water. Very very good job.

I think I just about recognize your shots now without checking the name. This definately has the Maciekda stamp on it, very fine shot, and an interesting point you make. Such dedication, uploading stuff from Cambodia!

Excellent point of view, composition and cropping! Great shot yet again.

cmartos (242) 2004-04-16 5:06

Superb picture and very original composition and cropping. The hidden face adds a lot to the originality. Perfectly saturated colours and good sharpness. A great shot.

smael (2878) 2004-04-21 16:42

Your halves work very well, and are beautifully connected with the hand and ore!
Deep and nice morning colors, and well done after reading your note about the amount of tourists...

Very interesting concept...I'm looking forward to seeing more pics:) Your portfolio is amazing - I admire Your talent

Great composition and i really like the detail in the shot, i do find that the bananas in the top right hand side of the shot are a little over exposed and distracting.
Nice capture
Rob
