While visiting Halong bay, I realised one´s again how lucky I was because the events of my live has given me the precious treasure of traveling. I´ve been able to visit wonderful places like this corner in south Asia. But for me, behind the landscapes there´s always the main point: The humans; people like this boy with his circunstances, problems and advantages. Sometimes I wonder... How many problems in this world would be resolve if all of us, including the big men and women, achieve the possibily of travel wideworld? I have my answer.
I hope you enjoy this vietnamese moment. (By the way the technical problem of this pictures was that the sensibility of the film was 50 and he was in the shadow and I have no tripod at this moments, I hope it will be sharp enough).

Visitando la bahía de Halong me di cuenta una vez más de lo afortunado que era porque las circunstancias de mi vida me habían proporcionado el precioso tesoro de viajar. Pero para mi, detrás de cada paisaje se esconde lo más importante: Los seres humanos. Personas como este muchacho con sus circunstancias, problemas y ventajas... Algunas veces me pregunto ¿Cuántos de los problemas de este mundo se resolverían si todos nosotros, incluyendo a los grandes hombres y mujeres, alcanzásemos la posibilidad de viajar por todo el mundo? Yo tengo mi respuesta.
Espero que disfrutéis de este momento vietnamita (por cierto, técnicamente la foto fue dificil de tomar porque la sensibilidad del carrete era muy baja, 50, y el muchacho estaba en la sombre, además no tenía trípode. Espero que tenga la suficiente definición).

foto interessante.Estive este ano neste local

Hola Miguel,

Coincido contigo, si la gente viajara mas, tendria mas conciencia de la vida de los demas. Tu composicion esta bien hecho, tiene suficiente claridad, la expresion de este ninno dice mucho y contrasta bien con las frutas que lleva a vender. Me gusta el angulo que usaste.

Saludes,

Iris

This is a lovely image. I have felt the same way that you described. We are so fortunate to see how others live. I cannot express how grateful I am to have the means and opportunities that most of the world doesn't. Your images are very sensitive and show how you feel. Keep on taking pictures!!!!!!

Hi Miguel,
I added it to the "Floating MArkets" theme, which is a favorite of mine because of the colors and the very special way of life of these people. I like very much the way that this boy is sitting on the edge, and the exotic collection of fruits and products. Well captured, good job.
Regards from TA.

Excellent "all-day life" composition. You captured the moment very well.

Bravo Miguel, j'aime bien la composition de ton image. Ce petit marchand est vraiment extra sur cette rivière. Merci de nous la partager. Amicalement/jr
