[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dear All,
Please find today a view of the Mekong Delta.

The Mekong is one of the world's major rivers. It is regarded as the 10th-longest river in the world, and the 10th-largest by volume (discharging 475 km³ of water annually). Its estimated length is 4880 kilometres, and it drains an area of 810,000 km². From the Tibetan Plateau it runs through China's Yunnan province, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. All except China and Myanmar belong to the Mekong River Commission. The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls have made navigation extremely difficult.

Hello Olivier. A beautiful and alive picture. The Mekong delta is a world for itself. Here boats for transport are essential. The life takes place on the water. The photo is worth seeing and well taken. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Bonjour Olivier
Les couleurs sur ces embarcations donnent toute l'esthétique à cette image.Une très bonne réalisation et c'est bien composé.
Bon dimanche.
Amicalement
Gildas

Fine shot Olivier. The low POV is excellent and the composition is nicely balanced by the two boats. Good colour and sharp detail. Best regards, Roberto

Olivier,
a simple and yet intersting composition capturing the "coming and going" on the Mekong river. The attention is totally devoted to this two colorful boats cruising on the salmon pink colored water. I'm usually quite sensitive for tilted horizons but on this here it really doesn't bother me at all. Quite the contrary, I have the impression that it adds mood to the shot.
Regards, Peter

Bonsoir Olivier,
Très jolie composition.
Jolies embarcations colorées sur le Mékong.
Un cadrage idéal qui nous place à la suite de ces embarcations et nous fait participer à l'excursion sur ce magnifique fleuve.
TFS,
Corinne
