Hello Chris!

Good composition. The color of water is... impressive and close to the color of boats. I like the result.

Hi Chris!
I remembered your photo from the thumbnail. You have posted it earlier on TE. I went back to TE and searched for ganges and boats and made sure this was that very one I remember. At first, I thought it's another photo of the same subject, then I saw it was yours :)
The photo is still very interesting to me. This one is sharper and slightly improved one.

Wow! I find this picture really interesting and beautiful! The great quality of that picture resides in the fact that the boats by the way they are placed create the symbol of a fish with the two tales and the body,right in the middle.Poweful picture,Chris! Well SEEN! Bravo! Michel

Very nice shot Chris, compostition is great. Focus, DOF & exposure are all well in place. The dominating brown colour gives a feel of graveyard. Well Done. TFS - Sam

Your composition and the almost monochrome colourtones make this an abstract painting. Just add some softening and a canvas-like texture and it's done... Excellent work Chris, TFS.

Very impressive, Cris, and I could not miss it, the good unse of the POV to create a "vue du ciel" image like from one of my favorite Paul Arthus Bertrand who makes great ones from Helicopters.
Very graphic, and the good contrassts help for this great photo.
I like it
Very much

Wow! actually double Wow! Great point of view, and I like the composition too. The colour of the muggy river ties in nicely with the old wooden fishing boats. Congratulations!

That's a cool shot. It looks like some of those boats won't be going at all anymore. That water is kinda gross looking, I think I'd want to be closer to the shore than some of those.

I just love the composition here. The boats make a kind of mosaic pattern that is realy wild.

Great work Chris. And the sharpness and color contrast or lack of contrast with water and brown boat is realy entracing...

Hi Chris, this is so beautiful, I had to comment on this one :)

I love the composition, the colour, and the title :)

It's such a great find, the boats flooded by water and the flowers growing in.

Very well done and seen.

Your photograhy is fantastic. If I didn't see the year 2000, one would have no clue when it was taken. I'm sure 6 yrs later there has been some change. Ever think of going back?

What an interesting composition, Chris, with the pattern created by the combination of the boats and those predominately brown tones. Great use of the open space on the left in this composition.
Congratulations for being on the front page at the moment of writing this!
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Chris, Good crisp and clear photo of everyday life in a Bangledesh river system.
Good clarity and colours. Hyacinth seems to be floating in many of the river systems. Parts of the Mekong were virtually choked with this weed. Murray.

Hey Chris, this photo was on the TL intro page.
What a great shot. A sad image though.
Well composed and displayed
Janice

It makes me worry about those in Myanmar that have been suffering this week after the big storms there. Many will have lost their boats and their lives.
