L'ex enclave Portoghese(adesso India) è splendida , come città , ma come vedo come natura .
La barca tipica e questi grandi fiumi navigabili ...
Gran "tiro"

Hello Valter,
the boat looks really captivating.Just like a swimming house with those windows.
The first thing,that strikes our eyes is this delightful,warm lighting which makes the colors even more saturated and vivid.Fantastic capture of the real side of India and this traditional boat.

Ciao Valter,
Somehow this boat makes me think of the Ark of Noah. Why exactly I do not know. Perhaps by the use of natural building materials.
A beautiful light shines on the boat, on the water and on the forest behind it.
The soft warm tones of the boat look great between the beautiful blue of the sky and the river.
Best regards, Paul

Hello dear Valter,

Your images from Goa are very beautiful. The houseboat looks very nice with the light striking on it making the colors rich. I like the red paint in the front and the back. Nice subtle reflections in Blue waters. Looks like a paradise. Excellent colors , light and sharpness.

Hello Valter - The light is warm and attractive, I like the way it has added a warm glow to the boat. Is the top made from wicker or straw? It looks wonderfully textured in this shot.I can imagine how peaceful it must be taking a trip on such a vessel. Who knows maybe one day! Warm regards rosemary

Hi Valter,

An interesting shot of this traditional wooden boat of Kerala. It has been captured with an excellent timing, exposure and sharpness so your work has a top quality. Very well done.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Ciao Valter,

Jean Paul (japiey) used to post lovely shots of India; I think you have assumed his mantle in this respect.
The sharply-detailed boat is very nicely positioned within the frame, producing a slight angle to guide the viewer into the shot. The whole is very well saturated. The hint of haze in the distance gives clues to the temperature.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Valter
This a typical rice boat here plying the many rivers here and you got the compos just right, a nice filled in frame. What glorious colours, contrast and perfect light to show off the subtle tones, a mesmerising view in excellent pov which is perfect to keep the eye into the perspective. A great photographic work, my friend. Congrats
Best regards

Ciao Valter,

A lovely photograph of this interesting boat with so much detail to examine throughout.

The colours are beautiful - largely as a result of the lovely warm afternoon sun, the exposure is perfect and the details and sharpness exquisite.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Their charter looks like a very nice houseboat, I wouldn't mind living in it. Nicely captured with great lighting. Good pov and dof with sharp details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Ciao Valter,
bellissima questa capanna galleggiante :))
Davvero originale. Il bello del viaggiare in altri mondi è anche questo, poter vedere usi e costumi diversi da quelli a cui siamo abituati nella nostra quotidianità.
Ottimo il punto di ripresa, con una bella luce.

TFS!
