Hi Wilson,

The walk on the river on board these small boats must be very pleasant. Beautiful and interesting photograph, I like much this line of parasol which gives a pretty key of additional color to the image. Pretty and exotic glance, thank you Wilson.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Hi Wilson,
Marvelously busy scene with brilliant colors and fantastic colors to the traditional Chinese water craft. You have caught all the intricate details of these beautiful vessels and the row of red umbrellas lend great depth to this fine offering. Excellent job.

Hi Wilson,
a very nice POV with all those boats and the long diagonal view of the bank. Lovely coloured umbrellas and all those red, yellow and green are attracting. Looks like you had an problematic light from the sky. Some saturation in the sky and more contrast in the rest could help I think for a bit brighter effect. Very sharp and full of good details with the different roofs of the boats and such.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wilson,
Good pov with an interesting frame to see these boats, but pity that your shot have a grey colour on all the view ...

JorgeCK (2456) 2008-01-24 11:22

Hi Wilson
I like very much your POV and the composition which has arisen from this. The line of boats provides good perspective. A lot of detail is visible in this shot.
Nice one.
Best wishes
Mark

delic (6735) 2008-01-24 13:00

Hi Wilson,
The curved geometry of the boats appealed to me in this picture. It's also interesting how identical ones are tied next to one another. The roofs of the temples, the red tents are all nice additions to this well-composed image. It's quite sharp, too, but I find the colors too cool. Some more saturation and warming would help. It may be a problem with TE's color profile application. Regards,
Hakan

Tue (25367) 2008-01-24 14:36

Hi Wilson,
Great view with a good composition. I like the repetitive effects in the photo, in the foreground the boats and in the background the parasols. The attractive yellow, green and red colours are nice too. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

placombe (7133) 2008-01-24 17:44

Hi Wilson
This is a great compo in which vivid colors bring contrast to the scene.
Very sharp although a bit over-sharpened to me.

gary91 (15305) 2008-01-25 2:10

Hello Wilson,
Nice composition with this strong diagonal well placed.
The parallel lines of the umbreallas, the quay and the boats is funny.
A pity you did not have a better light.
Have a nice week-end.
Best regards, Christian

Hello Wilson,
Cela doit être très sympa de faire une petite balade sur cette rivière à bord de l’une de ces embarcations,
Très bon angle de prise de vue sur cette scène,
Beaucoup de choses à regarder,
Excellent week-end à toi,

AROBN54 (10150) 2008-01-25 9:25

Hi, Wilson,
this is so cool. There are just endless details to examine and the POV is excellent to lead into the shot. Nice color, lots of activity in the background. This is a really nice shot! Many thanks and warmest regards,
Shelly

stego (21486) 2008-01-25 9:48

Hi Wilson,
The compo is very nice and effective; the umbrellas, the pier, the boats and so on lead our eyes through the image. The colours are very attractive too. The pagodas with their characteristic roofs and the shapes of the boats give it that obligatory and irresistible exotic touch.
Like in other of your photos, the light and sharpness appear a bit strange to me. The light is "too grey", lacking "life". I can't explain it, because the contrast looks good, but it looks much like the light of a thunderstorm day.
Regards, José.

gracious (20005) 2008-01-25 10:07

Hello Wilson,
Nice to meet you!

Bonsoir Wilson
Très bel alignement de ces bateaux et excellente diagonale de ces parasols.Excellent point de vue ,de superbes détails malgré la lumière
Amitiés

Philippe (11215) 2008-01-27 8:37

Hi, Jay. Back to the future! Your picture was taken before it was posted ;o). I like the well-balanced composition here with the boat rank on the water and the line of red parasols on the river bank. This also creates good diagonal lines and a good perspective towards the pagodas in hte background. A pity the sky was so grey.

emjleclercq (13469) 2008-01-27 13:20

A very nice collection of boats all ready to carry the tourists, who seem to have been rather scarse that day. Good shaprness but the sky is a bit grey to my taste.

All the best,

Emmanuel

syd1946 (17549) 2008-01-27 23:18

Hello Wilson,
The row of the traditional boats and the pagodes create a beautiful and interesting compo of architecture and daily life scene.I enjoy it very much!

Have a nice day,

Hello Wilson,
Que de lignes,diagonales et couleurs,beaucoup de détails, dommage que tu n'ai pas eu un beau ciel bleu pour donner plus déclats.

Hi Wilson,

A good capture of the little boats moored at the wharf with the city in the background full of activities. The point of view is giving depth to the picture. Well done, thanks for sharing.

This has to be as ideal a composition as possible, in order to maximize the number of components visible at the site. Good composition, effective photograph, and a succinct but informative note.

Hi Wilson, This is a well cropped composition with so many oriental things to observe and enjoy. All your China series has brought a lot of interest and you took good care to get this sort of result. TFS. Murray.

pboehringer (768) 2008-02-13 7:01

Wilson,
I see that you still have interesting shots from your China trip. The composition with the strong order around the boats is attractive despite the bad weather/ light conditions. The line of red umbrellas agianst the curve of boats is perfect geometrism. NOt quite sure if you didn't exaggerate on the sharpness.
Peter
