[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Padang is a large coastal town in tropical West Sumatra. I like the repetition & lineup of the canoes here. The water is not recommended for swimming ('Ayer Hitam', or 'black water', ie polluted). I removed a powerline top right.

Padang is famous for its' fiery cuisine of buffalo meat marinated in chili & coconut milk & served with rice. I tried it, but preferred rambutans.

really great contrasts in your photo. The row of canoes offer a pleasant rythm too. The reflection are good and the smooth water looks great. I like the precaiously perched canoe on the left.

Happy new year.

Excellent point of view Chris! Very good choise of vertical format. I like the queue of boat. Good one for last post in 2005 ;)
Happy new year 2006.
Regards, Amir

An especially good shot to finish the year with here Chris. Great use of repetition in the shot, with the row of boats leading us to the PoF, very nice work.

Hello Chris. Nicely captured repetition with the canoes here, as it really adds to the depth of this image and leads the eye all the way to the horizon. The nearby tree and overhanding branch gives a nice touch as well. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Chris,
Again a very beautiful image for the last of this year, the discipline of the canoes give a lovely view about the river, absolutely depth and good perspective.
Thanks a lot for the last year comment and sharing.
Best wishes.

Hi Chris,
A fine angle and perspective in a vertical format of this nice place with the repetition & lineup of the canoes. Excelent quality with so good colors, light handling and a fine contrast and sharpness. Fine enquadrement and point of view. It's best to mantain the simple and wonderful for a better 2006 year.

Congratulations and the best to you and family at this ending 2005 and a much better 2006 year.

Fernando

Hi Chris,

The motive with the repetitive boats is fantastic. It gives great rhythm and the reflections and boats create a fantastic graphism on the water. The photo has a great exotic feel to it thanks to the palms. A cool shot.

Happy New Year Chris.

Salut mon ami Chris,
Merci pour tes voeux. Bonne et heureuse année à toi aussi, ainsi qu'aux tiens.
Moi aussi j'aime cet alignement de canots. Le cadrage de cette composition est superbe.
Mais j'aimerais tant goûter à ce plat dont tu parles ;o)

Great use of repetition in this shot, and I also like the angle taken, with the boats going straight back. The view down the canal is good too, because it frames this on both sides. Excellent!

Thereis a very attractive line of these " pirogues à balancier"... Nice reflection and wet and tropical mood in.
I like it

Hi Chris, A nice view of the interesting boats along the clear water and the colorful houses.
Happy New Year.

Hi Chris. Excellent repetition that makes for one of the most unusual leading lines you'll ever see. The composition is perfect with no wasted space. Happy New Year Chris!

hi Chris

i think that's a typic indosesine Pov from a theme how to live with water.
Superb colors.
hppy new year and best wishes for 2006

Chris,
A very exotic shot!...The tone almost brings in a Maugham story line with its painting like Looks.
Colours:9; Compo:9; details:8; Note:7; POV:8
Rated for maximum of 10.

Cheers,
Prem.

HI Chris,
A nice boats perspective well framed in portrait to accentuate the depth, the blue boat to the left does not contribute so well to this perspective but adds a nice touch of color.
Happy New Year to you,
Jean-Yves

Hi Chris,
great picture..I like the colors and swaying palm tree. The reflections are nice, you have captured daily life in the tropical area very well. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Rahul
