[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Chao Praya it's a main highway, with barges every few minutes, ferrys darting between them, express boats that are faster than driving in the terrible traffic. Weeds float upstream and down with the wind and tide. The color is as bad as it looks. Kids swim in it, but the express passengers don't let it splash on them.
Chao Praya does mean in english the river of the Kings.

Hi Imre,

Bangkok is great when you are on the river. And those longtails and the buildings tells the whole story of this large city.
Wonderfull placed in the frame, i like how the boat is heading to the buidlings.
Very nice.......i like it alot.

Hi Imre,
Splendid contrast view, the boat in full speed with smoke, gives a wonderful contrast against the fantastic buildings in background.
I agree with previous writer about the sharpness, but I like the picture.
Thanks a lot.
John.

Hi Imre,
Very good how the longtail boat is leading into the composition.I also like the contrast between the timeless riverscape and the modern buildings.

I appreciate the contrast between the small old traditionnal boat and the huge modern buildings. Two worlds about to meet, thanks to the diagonal you composed.
Good shot.
Stéphane
