Photographer’s Note
International Intersection
I has been invited to dinner by a new Canadian friend who flew in from Hanoi and landed Wattay Airport with me, to a bivouac restaurant on the Laotian side of Mekong River. My Japan-made Canon camera has been locked on an Italian Manfrotto tripod pointing toward the other bank of the river. Finally, the sun set down over Si Chiang Mai town of Nong Khai Province and sent its reflection over a little boat negotiated by 3 travelers speaking Vietnamese language who arrived from Saigon.
Even though my humble picture contains more names of country than just one, I selected the "nationality" for it as Thailand where the sun was descending and disappearing.
****
I’d like to reserve this photo to my friend with the hope that this souvenir of friendship helps healing his wound of loss of his most loved one:

Lovely light for this sunset silhouette. Nice atmospheric shot, though I'm a bit distracted by the post crossing through the boat, with nothing to set it apart.

Hi Thanh, this is a lovely picture. The dusk with the caracteristic red color. The pleasant of the water. I like the composition very much too. Very good job.

You probably captured this at the decisive minute. Ten minutes earlier or later may be less effective in its colors.
I totally agree with Yeray.
