Really nice capture of these women and their colorful outfits. Like the way the woman on the left appears to be checking out the items for sale in the panel on the right.

Very dramatic sky here. The colors reflecting off the water are nice too. I like how the rocks draw the viewer in - leading lines throughout

These images go really well together with the baskets and colourful costumes. It is a beautiful, and very interesting diptych. Thanks for the link to you Vietnam pics. You have a wonderful collection there.

Sir Zigsworth IV
by Stagolee

Comment by CNovack:
Great side profile portrait of Sir Zigsworth IV!! Lighting wonderfully illuminates the fur and you have some nice light in the eye giving a nice twinkle. The focus on the eye is sharp as a tack but the nose and snout seems a tad soft. Perhaps a greater number in aperture, say f8 or higher will increase the depth of field and thus all things would be in sharper focus. Of course you would need to adjust shutter speed to allow the same amount of light to 'come' it to illuminate your subject with the capture. However, if that is due to movement there is very little you can do. The choice of the black backdrop only allows part of the dog to directly contrast with it. The black tones of it fur on the top of his head blend all too well back into the backdrop. That flaw can be easily corrected (if your dog would sit for it that is:-) ) by placing a small light a foot or two right behind the dog. The light will then hit the fur and illuminate the outline of the dog's profile like a halo. That 'outlining' will help keep your main subject separate and apart from that black backdrop and make Sir Zigsworth IV really visually pop off the page.
