Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi all,
If I may, I'd like to start sharing some photos of my vacation
to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Germany.
Over time I will continue to add more photos.
Comments are very welcome.

Hi Chris, these are really nice vacation photo's! I also love the interesting way you've taken this out-of-the-window plane shot. The dark area really sets the centre focus and frames it nicely.
Can't wait to see more...

Christian. I've seen thousands of ordinary shots out plane windows. Now I am happy to say I've finally seen an extraordinary one. Well done.
Regarding the gallery:
Making A Splash is the stand out, morning traffic in Hanoi, What A Beautiful smile and At Ha Long Bay are also very good. These all have lovely vibrant colours and a great sense of place. I like Uncle Ho also, but find the motion blur (especially in the very bottom of the frame) very distracting.
Can't wait to see more.

I agree with Peter. The photo is extremely well and unconventionally composed. Well done. Christ, we want to see more!!!

The blue jeep which the American left behind and has been modified with a Jap diesel engine (Yanmar or Kubota), these engines used to pump water to the paddy field (irrigation) or used on a fishing boat,
Boat people used to use these engines (4Hp or 6HP) in single or dual form to flee the country after the Fall Of Saigon.
I fled VN on a small wooden boat (3m width, 18m in lenght) 6HP Yanmar diesel with a group of 27 people, took us 7 days and nights, from Nhatrang, SVN to the Philippines

Thank you for your kind and encouraging replies.
I have to be careful with my next selection of photos for the galleries; the standard is high !!!
Birddog: sad to hear about your ordeal.
I also say, great to have such a mate like you in Australia.
Best regards,
Christian
