Photographer's Note
Off Vinh Long, Mekong Delta.
Reclining at the edge of round basket boat under the mid-day sun, drifting away into the green wide mekong, wondering what would be the perfect dream if one day, i were to close my eyes and see that one thing that would take me back to the time and place, dwell in utter tranquility, even for a brief moment.
What would he be without the river and the boat..?

The mekong holds a special place in my heart and i chose to make this image in Its most intimate and simplest form.

llford delta 400 simulation..but alas....how i wish..

Hi Sayeed
I imagine some people would find this a little dark but I like the darkness, it sets a very distinct mood that makes me want to see more of the scene. Very nice black and white conversion.
Best wishes
Noel

Bonjour Sayeed,
Il y a beaucoup de grain dans le ciel de cette composition en noir et blanc mais on passe facilement par dessus car l'ensemble est remarquable.
Amicalement

I like your technique - the high contrast, overland low key feel and the grain visible in the sky. Looks like a very old image, even though taken a few days ago.

Hi Sayeed,
Long time! I hope you are well. I popped into TE, and saw this...the Ilford effect fits well,the contrasts, the harsh whites and deep blacks. Paddling somewhere, to a grainy horizon, looks like a good direction to paddle in..
I have travel plans to Nepal and maybe Kolkata later this year.
Cheers
Justin
