Dan Bau Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Dan Bau is a Vietnam traditional musical instrument. Its a single string instrument, you change the pitch by moving the handle on the left hand side(right side of photo).
Lonely Planet book comments about the similarity to playing electric guitar just with the whammy bar.
I agree(although it doesnt sound like a guitar, to my non-musician ear it more like violin), rock on!

A beautiful portrait, with harmonious colours and nicely positioned hands.

Very very beautiful portrait. Soft and warm colour toning, pleasant horizontal en vertical lines interupted by your subject that really stands out. Deserves a 6 out 5 rating! :-)

Photo très bien composée. Belles couleurs. Sujet et note intéressants. Cette photo est tout à fait dans le cadre de TE. J'ai fait connaissance aujourd'hui d'un nouvel instrument de musique (pas très courant en Europe, il faut le dire).
Très bien, Ricardo.
Very well composed photo. Beautiful colours. Interesting subject and note. This photo is completely within the framework of TE. I got acquainted of a new musical instrument today (not very current in Europe, it is necessary to say it).
Very well, Ricardo.

Lovely colours and skin tones! My eyes keep wandering between her concentrated face and her sharp nails. Well done!

Someone already said that this shot is beautiful and I, for one, have nothing further to add here. The DOF, her body position, the instrument she is playing...everything is in harmony here. Wonderful, simple and beautiful shot.

Beautiful portrait. Great color, nice DOF. There is a strong yellow cast (at least on my monitor), but I like it in this images, giving it a warm, filtered outdoor light effect. Woman's expression and hand position is just right.

It's a beautiful portrait of this musician. The depth of field is perfect. The composition creates an atmosphere of tranquility.

Well done!
