Hola Isabel,

well, this is not haute couture from Paris...but these clothes are spontaneous and colourful. therefore I like them!
(y tu foto tam bien!)

Hi Isabel,
Photography on a boat is the easier the bigger the boat is.
I like the effect of showing to the viewer what was your main object. Remember that not only bright and dark places (spots) in the picture bring attention... Placing objects in special parts of the frame is as much powerful. I am sure that you are aware of the "rule of the thirds" and the "strong points".
You could use it here too.
The reflection is well spotted, though I don't know why didn't you keep the whole reflection in your composition, it would surely emphasise this well captured contrast between the clothes and the rusty environment.
Sobre todo me gusta la foto mucho, primero por el ambiente y segundo por el contraste muy significante.
Recuerdos,
Miguel

Isabel,
Comparto la critica de Miguel. Esta foto tenia muhco potencial.
creo que la tomaste con el zoom muy grande (105mm). La puedes tomar con mas angulo y despues hacer el crop que desees.
Ademas creo que no haces nungun post-proceso. A esta le falta un poco de contraste. Un paso muy simple de hacer en cualquier programa. Mira el WS, me demore 15 segundos.
En todo caso una buena foto y se nota que tienes buen ojo artistico.
saludos

Dear Isabel,

On the board hung in front of the house, there are some vietnamese words meaning "Wedding dress Nguyễn T.NH ". It aslso means this house is a shop of bridal dresses for hire.

I admit that the green of water tree combined with the attractive colors of dresses in the dark background of brown
roof and grey wooden wall makes somes kool thoughts of a peaceful moment/place/life ... :). So, TKS.

Have a lovely travel!!!

Hola Chabela, como estas?

Exelente foto, me hubiese gustado ver mas el reflejo de los vestidfos en el Rio, sinembargo se que aveces esto no se puede por que estabas en un botoq ue tal vez iba muy rapido o cualquier otra cosa, sinembargo creo que tu foto es muy artisitica y muy original

Un saludos grande

Bella composizione con i colori che si staccano dalla architettura povera di questa costruzione.
Hai ragione, il riflesso aumenta la forza di questa foto.
Ottimo scatto!

Ciao
Andrea

hi isabel,
i commend you for the keen eye you got to notice such a moment pass by. the tittle is apt! the colors of these hanged clothes or gowns for that matter are brimming with warmth for the capture. the reflections on the mighty mekong add the depth.
it is a beautiful capture!

Hello Isabel! Original place, original objects. Nice colors. Very interesting contrast. Original picture. Good luck!
