Hello Hans.
I really like your low POV and composition. Nice colours of the buildings and plants. That's a pity that the sky was so dull.

N I C E !!!

I see here that you must have had the AutoFocus switched on and pointed at the center. The lady and the little one on the bike are not perfectly sharp. But... all in all that does no harm to this image. I really like the composition and the low angle is chosen very well.
Great reflections and rainy colors!

Cheers,

Hi Hans,
Your low POV gives us the feeling to be there!
I like much the beautiful composition with this good lead-in of the electrical line and the great sense of space. The washed sky emphasizes it with more efficiency. I like also the contrast with the empty and the plenty two sides of the image. Very interesting and instructive daily photo! Bravo! Annie

Hoi Hans,

Kijk dat mag ik graag zien: iemand die voor een goed resultaat met z'n buik in het water ligt...geen wonder dat je de griep krijgt :-)
Mooie persachtige foto van het leven (met water) in vietnam.

Groeten,

Edwin

Hi Hans
Very interesting take. I would like this year to tour Vietnam but I am afraid of a rain. I can see that my anxieties are justified.

Now this one really impresses me! Which bits of the GreenBaron were dipped in the floodwater, may I ask??

The composition is excellent, I love the way attention is drawn into the two on the bicycle, then allowed to wander along that low horizon - personally this is one of my favourite shots from your gallery!

p.s. ask Sweety about her evil plot.

Hi Hans,

Just thinking how did you capture this image . . Too risky of getting wet . .
I love this image taken from low level . .
Lovely composition . .
Well done my friend

Very nice presentation of that exotic site of the world...
" reporter's " - kind of photography.
Only that sky is a bit to bright - just my opinion.

Hi Hans

A good daily life scene from Hoi An (I've been there in 1999 & 2001). A superb photojournalistic shot of the motorcycle, negotiating the flooded streets. Tfs!

Very creative and effective use of the low POV, Hans - it is techniques like that which make the difference between photographers and holiday-snappers. Well done indeed, a great lesson for anyone on Treklens. Good stuff!

Okay okay......I hope to get you off my back now lol

As everybody already stated, your POV is very well chosen. And only a nut will get his behind wet for a woman on a bike ;)
The electricity cables definitely give the image depth. And the ppl in the bg make it clear this is not where the water usually comes.
To me the photo tells the whole story but one has to look carefully.

Hi Hans,

Gotten wet feet there?! A pity of the sky that's not very eventful, but not over-exposed! I thought about looking at it in portrait layout, but you really need the part to the right to see the water a bit wider. Nice.

Dennis

Hallo Hans,
sehr beeindruckend dein Bild. Wie die Menschen, trotz Naturkatastrophen, immer weiter kämpfen, nicht aufgeben. Und meistens trieft es immer die Armen...leider
Ich mag den Winkel aus dem du fotografiert hast. Es gibt dem Bild immer einen tollen Effekt. Gute Arbeit mein Freund.

Wünsche dir eine leichte Woche:),

Hey Hans,

Wat een schattig jongetje voor op die fiets! Mooie compostie en goed gekozen POV
Ik vind dat de foto sfeer heeft door het opspattende water en de uitdrukking op de gezichten.
Mooie foto!

Nice shot of the mood in Hoi An. Child of heart of my brother lives there. You captured this woman and her child very well ... great POV ... a little bit blurred but the composition is really great, TFS.

Een hele mooie POV! Duidelijk laag bij de grond! Jammer dat de lucht niet wat sprekender was, maar ja, daar heb je weinig invloed op...
Stond jij nu ook met je voeten in het water??

The low pov works really well here, Hans!
I can almost hear the water splashing as it is disturbed by the wheels! It also gives a good view of the expressions on the mother and child's faces! The wires then act as leading lines to draw the eye into the rest of the picture! A very interesting shot!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

many thanks for your warm comments on 'Robin on the beech!'

I just love the low POV here. Stunning detail and composition. Of course it is the perfect frame to show of this lovley image. I like the man in the boat at the bench, and the look on the mothers face. Very well done, Mr. GB, to capture this moment so well.

hi Hans

Amazing shot. I like your low angle, making it very intimate close to the flood and the biker. Despite the wires, this shot clearly gives me a feel of hardship and resolve to get around the problem.

I am impressed by your travelogue to SE Asia and this one speaks by itself how you have captured lively scenes. Thinking how big size you are, I can imagine how not easy for you to stoop low for taking this shot, very dedicated photographer and I admire that.

Excellent!

Hi Hans,

Very dynamic image .... we had some flooding over here a few months back, not very nice ... I understand the woman's expression. :)

Wonderful composition, setting her over in the corner, and leaving all the street business behind her. Lovely scene, even if it wasn't particularly pleasant.

I hope you were wearing some water-proof boots in this weather! :)

Awesome photo. Your point of view is excellent. It's something that one must think about doing at times, as it doesn't always come naturally.

There's a story to be told here, and you did it very well indeed.
