[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some of you might have a basket of this kind, I have several. They come in different sizes. This is the real thing. A fisherman's boat from the small fishing village of Mui Ne. You can see them all along Vietnam's southern coast. The boat is made exactly in the same way as the baskets you might see on a Vietnamese market, only much bigger (relatively speaking), reinforced on the inside, with a thin bambou strip across for the fisherman to sit on as he paddles away.
Post processing: photo was cropped, some sharpening on the boat.

Hello Jan
Welcome to TE - a very interesting first post! I like the boldness of the composition, and the shadow emphasising the shape of the boat. The blue, cream and white colours are very harmonious but perhaps a little overexposed. Good informative note!
It would be good to see this larger - try using as many as you can of your 800x650 200KB allowance ( I had trouble with this at first)
Keep posting!
Best wishes Maggie
