Photographer's Note
This picture was took in Ho-Xuan-Huong lake - Dalat on 24 Dec 2004 - I had to wait about an hour for the fish man and his canoe came to this position. Behind him was the bell-tower. the fog made my clothes and my camera wet all, It was a unforgettable scene for me, not because of the wet but because of that fish man.. Was there any fish for him that day? Xmas Day.

What an incredible picture !
Patience is the best friend of the photographer really. I wonder how you could keep such perfect fog and light conditions during one hour. Hope your camera survived that photo.
Thank you for waiting, and for sharing.
Pascal.

Hi Victor,
It is wonderful, moody picture. I like the fog and the vertical composition with small canoe and subtile reflections in the water.
Great shot indeed :)

Hi Victor,
The waiting time of 1 hour was worth waiting before shooting this one.
However, the photographer's not does'nt tell how many memory card were filled up during this waiting time...

I think you´ve made quite a remarkable start on TE, Victor. This is a very moody foggy picture, very minimalistic, with fantastic reflections, and very Eastern.
Very very good!

Stunning! I love it! So pure, so minimalistic, so soft, so great! (though I might crop a little bit the bottom to make the composition more dynamic). Imagine that, you managed to make of a very foggy day where you barely see something a wonderful shot. Poetic, romantic...Very well done!
Greetings from Paris,
Pris.

Wow what a cool picture Victor, i love it!
Mystical and in certain way also refreshing in these hot days :)
He reminds me the waterman Charon from Greek mythology, transitting dead men across the river Styx.. (dont know how to write greek expressions in english correctly :)
To sum up, i like this picture very much with it´s unusual mood.

Great capture. Very mysterious atmosphere. I like how the fisherman really stands out from the rest of the picture.
Perfect composition, straight out of a painting. Congratulations!

Brilliant, I seldom come across something that is so diffrent. I may try to use the gamma on photoshop to darken it for me though, personal prefrence.
