Hello Hau,
I was just about to turn off the computer when I noticed this little gem. All are so beautiful here, the evening sunlight and the reflections are exquisite, with a very nice mood and fine point of view. Interesting how a poor neighbourhood can acquire such aesthetic beauty...
take care,
sasa

Hi, Hau! Nice and well captured pic! Great colours, reflections and sharpeness. This place is not so different from many other poor areas we have here, in Brazil. Good job! TFS! Regards! Miguel.

The reflections are beautiful Hau, the contrasting modern monstrosities leaning against the old shacks make a colourful composition. Much detail to attract the eye. A note is always welcome here. Have fun here on TE.

hello hau,
very pretty reflection in your image, appealingly colored houses even if some are 'poor', love the contrast between the poor and the less poor and the perfect warm sunset (or sunrise?) light.
good work, do share more!
tfs and have a very good weekend,
dora

even if a few days late, but i'd like to welcome you to TE, have a pleasant and rewarding stay here!

Hi Hau,
This place seems a poor village indeed. Those reflections are great. I had add some note about this place.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

There are some truly talented Vietnamese photographers on TE, and judging from this photo, I'd say you must be added to their ranks. Indeed it looks poor, but the way you have captured it brings out the other side; the beauty and mystery of life that is present everywhere, even the most unfortunate of places. The exposure is spot on, and the lighting and composition outstanding. Good one.
