Photographer's Note
In Pakse, along the Mekong river, boats are heading safely home and as the sun goes down, the river shrouds itself in a thousand golden lights...
I had spotted this skiff some time ago and I waited for the right time for this fisherman to be in the brighter area of the water. Nevertheless, it's kinda hard to have perfect sharpness at such focal, even with a high shutter speed...it might be better with a monopod but that's another extra weight to carry around...can't be bothered actually!

I like how you composed this shot and the resulting capture of the beautiful lighting effect of the setting sun upon the river. Great shot.

Bonjour Philippe,
How can I not comment on this one? Great golden colours. I love it how the chocolate brown Mekong a few times a day around sunrise and around sunset suddenly changes colours and takes on a wholly different guise. Great capture, even though - imho - I would have preferred some more sharpness on the boat itself.

Tres inspirante cette belle image, toute impregne de cette atmosphere si tupiquement laotienne ou le temps semble si souvent s'etre arrete. J;aime beaucoup.

Hi Philippe,
Traditional boat on evening light looks just great. Higher angle gives all water background, that reflects golden tones of tropical sunset. Timeless view.

Hello Philippe,
A simple composition while the ripples of the water are eye-catching. The goldenish water tone is superb. I also like this lonely boat.
It looks like a great painting. Well done!

Hello Philippe
The shimmering water the textures has a contributing effect on the boat..they complemet each other very well..tad centered maybe..following the taboo..danger line of the frame..but overall impressive results..an original shot..can recalla another with these results

Hi Philippe,
Wonderful patterns and texture created on the golden waters and the boat seems to glide effortlessly accross it in the late afternoon glow. Nice silhouette for this peaceful image.

Bonjour Philippe
La silhouette du bateau se detache bien de la dominante doree, on dirait un peu une pub pour du cafe ;-)
Bonne journee JY

Bonjour Philippe
You have some delightful Cambodia/Lao pictures posted of late! I begin with this. You've captured brilliant golden tones in the water & the longboat is also well placed in the frame. Love the contrast between gold & black. A beauty!
Best Regards

Salut Philippe
En attendant que tu refasses surface, je m'en vais dans les profondeurs de ta galerie... Je réalise que j'ai manqué pas mal de choses, dont celle-ci...J'aime beaucoup la composition simple où les ondulations de l'eau déclinent les teintes dorées avec superbe. C'est ce qui attire l'oeil immédiatement. Mais il y a aussi le bateau: il a une silhouette de crocodile, avec son reflet! J'aime beaucoup. Félicitations!
