I like the hues of this shot, it really does seem to be touched with gold.

I can't help noticing though that the far horizon - especially the line of water below the hill-line on the left - seems to be tilted slightly. Is it? Or is it just an illusion?

Hallo hans.
prachtige compositie en een zeer warme kleur die prachtig overloopt in de wolken.
De glinstering in het water geven een prachtig effect. Als ik dit zie kan ik al genieten laat staan als je het werkelijk ziet en de stilte er bij hoort.

Ciao Hans

amazing shot at sunset. The deepness of POV and the spreading of light and hues are truly magnetic.
Nice reflections in the river between the shapes of trees.

Compliments!

Best Regards

Hi Hans,

its gold alright..good POV and wonderful capture of sunset effect towards the landscape. But i would have not cropped off the sun a quarter down IMO.

all the best,

Hi Hans

Good sharpness & reflections. I like the monochromatic golden orange colour. Nice silhouettes of the banana trees & well composed into horizontal quarters. Good cropping of the oe sun. Tfs!

Goeiemiddag Hans,

Een kleine rotatie naar rechts had wat mooier geweest, maar dat neemt niet weg dat dit een prachtige foto is. Hele mooie zachte kleuren en ik vind de verschillende lijnen de diepte in erg mooi! De zon bovenin is ook een prachtig detail! (Die dan weer bijna weggeweest zou zijn als je de foto naar rechts zou draaien ok :-))
Mooi gedaan!

TFS Greetings Simone

Tsja... die scheve horizon he...
je bent een beetje slordig Hans.
Buiten dat vind ik het een prachtige foto. De kleuren zijn echt heel erg mooi en de silhouetten steken heel mooi af tegen het water en de lucht...
De sfeer moet echt heerlijk zijn geweest daar.

Hi Hans,

I like the the effect you achieved with the color saturation (desaturation?). The silhouettes of the trees are nicely captured in this somewhat moody shot. Because of the times I grew up in, Vietnam will always seem a scarey place to me.

Best regards,

Hi Hans,
I like the post-tratment you did on this landscape. You added at it a glorious golden atmosphere. The crop and panoramic format is very effective too. I like the reflections of trees and the gleam of light on water.
Cheers!

Hi Hans,
lovely golden colours and I like the composition with just a hint of the sun. Don't beat yourself up over the horizon, I am not so sure. There is an impression that the horizon is sloping on the LHS of the shot but the RHS looks OK, often get this when the the FG is closer at one side. The two banks also add to this impression.
cheers

Hello Hans,
Indeed the golden glow of the Mekong River is attractive and emphasized. Perhaps the red mud of the river enhanced the glow. I notice that it was cropped or composed just below the sun...it works. (I have stackful of Vietnam pics taken before digital days, and I certainly would like to re-visit). Regards.

Hoi Hans,
Een prachtige foto die vooral door het tegen de zon inschieten zo mooi van kleurtoon is geworden. Ja, de foto staat scheef, maar dat is maar een heel klein beetje. De illusie wordt gewekt door de schuinelijnen van walletjes. Men kijkt altijd naar de horizon, maar deze kun je bijna nooit echt zien De eenige manier om het echt goed te kunnen zien is door naar de spiegeling te kijken. Deze moet vertikaal zijn. Kijk dan vooral naar het midden van de foto.
Groeten,
Niek

Hi Hans, I like the golden glow well portrayed in this river scene. It is certainly a mighty impressive river and life-blood to so many in several countries. The levee bank indicates the presence of people. The sparkling sun, well positioned, is what i especially like in this gorgeous photograph. I have a small feeling there is a slight tilt to the left.

Hi Hans,
Thank you for this picture full of ambiance. We play here a table game named "Les dragons de Mékong". Now I will have a more realistic image of that area.
