[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From Mytho we got on a boat to do a trip in the Mekong Delta. In the middle of nowhere, the boat stops at a petrol station at the riverside. Of course a fantastic opportunity to take some pictures, the office is an open space so perfect to look inside :)
In the workshop a photo of the whole station.

Nice feel to this with the inclusion of Uncle Ho's photo. I would crop a bit from the right and add a little clarity and "pop" into the colors. I'm feeling restless right now, In so I'll try a workshop if you don' mind...

Hi Inn, I like this for the same reasons as Francis and also like what he has done in the workshop. It really looks like one of his shots. As he says, the inclusion of Ho's photo is just right.

Je l'aime bien celle-ci car je la trouve tres representative de l'Asie du sud-est... Je n'y parviens pas mais on doit pouvoir vous voir dans le reflet de la TV et selon tout vraisemblance sa maison est ouvert aux quatres vents.... Félicitations pour ce cliché...

Salut Inn,
Belle photo de la vie quotidienne. Une scène opportunément prise.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Hello inn. Only I see the photo, then the title. It shows your sense for humor. The Heroen of this world fascinates me again and again. Usually they are admired in pictures and sculptures or also hated. In your photo Ho on a board stands and smiles. Here the thing is harmless, - and nearly an idyl. Your beautiful photo is well composed and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Inn,

A great portrait of this man in his office and, as others have mentioned, Uncle Ho's portrait makes for a good inclusion, watching over this man's shoulder as he writes. You have picked up on this with a great title for your photo.

The colours are good and so is the contrast but possibly the top-left of the image is unfortunately a little dark. I really like Furachan's workshop - Increasing the yellow saturation to me enhances the atmosphere further and is pleasing to look at even if it is less realistic. It's about creating a mood, and I think it works really well.

Best regards,

Rich

and again your title... : D
superb scene, perfectly composed... yes Vietnam inspired you a lot...
I kike the kitsch in this photo if you see what I mean ... The flowers, the old like place... to tired to explain ; D
