Hello Albert,
Beautiful composition and superb mood.
The mist on the background enhances the fisherman and gives a lot of depth to this great image.
Perfect processing where the b&w + sepia conversion suits nicely with the subject.
Great work !
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian

It looks like a paint, Albert. You did a nice photojob here, creating this nice atmosphére on the river. The man looks like going to the past, like crossing a time frontier. Beautiful photo!

Hi Albert,

Nice capture of a typical Thai scene. The sepia/black and white tones work well capturing the smog and the composition is great. Well done.

Hello Albert,

I find your picture extraordinarily through the light misty atmosphere about the river and background.
The fisherman in foreground make your picture completely.
Good point of view making good use of the river at this point.
Excellent composition, black and white are lovely, also very well presentation. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Bonjour Albert,
elle est bien cadrée cette scène de cette rivière qui se perd dans la brume. Une scène très tranquille où le sépia est le bienvenu.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Hi Albert

Di maag! I like the receding light, towards the back, & the superb sepia tone. Nice sharpness on the fg longtail, yet a soft and pleasing, indistinct bg. A good reflection of the bridge too. Tfs!

Hi Albert,
One of the thigs I like about TE is the fact you can stumble upon gifted members such as you. I've just had a look at your great gallery and it's a pleasure to the eye.
I love this particular picture for its misty mood. The sepia conversion was a good idea, it gives it a timeless soulful feel I love. Composition is top-notch as well, congratulations!

Yours,

Philippe

Seems like a photo much older than it actually is at first. It should be an old boat on some exotic river with temples and such but it's actually a motor boat on a canal in or near a city. Even though the smog is bad, it does make this photo.

patdeph (35750) 2008-09-01 3:21

hello Albert
It the first time that I see the klongs with so much mist,and I find this very beautiful with its so quiet atmosphere!The mist is lovely enhanced by the sepia treatment!your POV is excellent,givind a nice perspective on the klong,and the boat is ideally placed in the frame!Superb!

Pascale

trekks (14348) 2008-09-01 19:26

hello Albert

The fog in this view really makes the photo very oldies look in sepia, given the light and soft tone. You chose the vertical format well. A fine TE post. tfs

Very nicely made : so delicate and golden. Just a little bit oversharpened in the foreground, apart from that a really pleasant photo to view.

pablominto (53746) 2008-09-05 4:52

Hello Albert,

This is creative work and the result is outstanding!
The pin sharp details in the man and the boat, fading into the hazy background, very appealing to my sense of beauty...

Hello,

Nice composition with the channel going far and hidden by the fog.
The boat in foreground, sharper, is providing a good anchor in the reading by the difference of contrast with the remaining landscape.

Yves.
