bridge above and beyond Photo

Photographer’s Note

Vang Vieng. a quiet and lovely small town (you can see the views in my previously posted image).
This bridge leads to the caves area (where I took the last picture from).
we went on inner tires (is that how you call it) trip on that river.. its nice/ especially if you have water fights etc.

Great shot Niva! I love the perspective and the way the wooden poles leading the eye to the rst of the scene...Very well done!

Great shot - I like the interaction between the local and the tourist. You have captured the lush green colours and the beauty of the limestone karst mountains as well. I was there last year and also did the inner tube trip down the river and this brigs back many great memories.

This shot is the essance of travel photography as it includes travelers, a wonderful location and works very nicely as an image as well. The colors are spectacular and your composition is amazing. The bridge and the background make for wonderful subjects. Very well done!

I really like the composition here - foreground and background perfectly balanced and interesting, with the bridge providing a link between the two. A kind of shot you I like to spend more time looking at. Really good, natural colours. Great shot.

I put this image between my favorites. Don't change a single thing on it, it is perfect as it is.

Perfect lifestyle picture. I love fishing and on a bridge like that in Laos....nothing better.

Nice framing too. Great Work.

Very nice picture. Great colours and I like the tourists being included. Nicely done!

Small suggestion, I wonder if slightly cropping the image to remove the backend of the truck on the right-hand side might touch-up the image. I find the people under the 'gate' in the center of the image to be slightly distracting, but it probably not something you could control.

Very interesting terrain in the backgound. What is the name of the river the bridge crosses? What is going on with the bridge in the middle of the river? It looks like it stops like a pier, and then there is the other section.
Very nice picture, although I would prefer natives in the forground rather than tourists.

Very Nice picture, we can feel the ambiance. Excellent sharpness and color.
