Hi Paolo,
Nice to see you choose for the water instead of the palmtrees. It gives the scene a relaxed feeling
Great shot

You have a gentle way with scenes of everyday life in the Mekong region. Partly it's the slight cloudiness that results from scans but, more than that, I think your love for the region and the ordinary people who live and struggle there comes through. I know Can Tho and love the Mekong Delta, all the way to Chau Doc on the Cambodian border.
Very nice work,
Ciao,
Francis

ciao paolo, i can see that you like the sepia/monochromatic world :-))
nice, it always creates a feeling, in my opinion, of a special quiet, problemless, timeless moment and place;
nice work,
best wishes, j.

Ciao Paolo,
nicely put into the compo, the river looks so smooth, like a cocoa or light coffee :)
I saw similar pictures from Vietnam in Thanh´s gallery (ngythanh)..
Nice intro-picture! :)

Ciao Paolo,
vedo che oggi siamo tutti e due in Vietnam. Sembra una foto scattata una settantina di anni fa. Questa luce soft ed il b/n tendente al sepia mi ricorda le foto di mio nonno da giovane e poi c'é la scena che hai fotografato e la nota sulle abitudini di questa gente che penso non siano cambiate molto in poco meno di un secolo. Ottimo b/n! Complimenti e buona giornata.

Another excellent daily life shot in sepia. I love the murky looking water and the ripple round the boy playing in it. Interesting you say a "long" tour; I'm sure that stays in your memory because of the hard seats. :)

Paolo,
A true vintage shot, brings the Mossy feeling while looking at it...
Too overwhelming...
But why does your scans go little away like this?..I think the qulaity of scan spoils the party, though your PP is of first class!.
Cheers,
Prem.

Love how you have captured the simplicity of life: people truly enjoying life as is it given to them, no corporate meetings, just enjoying life. Brilliant work, Paolo, brilliant

Very good daily life picture with a sepia color, well composed and despite it's a scanned old picture you were able to do a good work.
Well done Paolo.

Hi Poalo,

cool capture. Yet another sepia tone, works for me again. You captured daily life with beautiful flair. The sharpness is a bit soft but it works in conjunction with the sepia.

Hi Paolo - nice daily life phtoo, the destauration and neat filter has an inetersting effect, the river looks more like a thick chocolate milk

Beautiful daily life picture, Paolo! The composition is great and the choice of B&W is excellent. Did you use long exposure? Nevermind, the result is excellent, creating a unique atmosphere. TFS, Hercules

Bella scena di vita quotidiana, Paolo! Mi ricorda l'atmosfera che c'è nelle backwaters del Kerala, anche là la vita si svolge sull'acqua.
Noto il tuo nuovo uso del sepia, e mi pare ben appropriato per questa scena.
Complimenti!! Livia

Hello Paolo,
Good idea to have this picture in sepia, as it looks like from long time ago, although being actual.
The result of the scanning is very good.
Regards
Antonio

Hi Paolo.

Again a great photo from your wonderful sepia series.
I like the river, looks like milk to me.
What do you mean it's stolen image?
I'm sure it is your original ;)

take care, Aleks
