Nice, this is how I imagine Vietnam with the river, palm trees and house boats and a great sky.

Typical tourist, taking touristy shots of the local curiosities! Just a joke - you were far from a tourist on that mission.

You may have been a tourist and this is, evidently, a picture, but a "tourist picture" it is not!

Nicely done. BTW - Any thought about cloning out the one white post in the foreground. I know in the film days we would never have dreamt of it, but with digital, it could be gone in a moment without altering the intent of the photograph. Just a thought.

I doubt I'd have been able to resist either, Slobodan. But I called it a tourist picture because, as Seamus pointed out, all it says is that I was there, though admittedly not as a tourist. And Terry, you're right. The Bassac river in the Vietnam delta is an interesting waterway. I don't know about cloning out the white post in the foreground. I guess if it bothered me, instead of cloning it out I'd select it and reduce its brightness, a thing you could do in film days by the way with some very precise burning.

Anyhow, thanks all for looking.

Dodging and burning in the darkroom - don't ever want to go back there.
