Motherly Care

While I was cycling through a village in South Vietnam, I stopped by a riverside to capture this image of mother and child sitting on a boat. I like the expression and the body language of the people. I think these are the important elements for a good portrait study. Soft lighting here is aptly light up the subject.
Actually, we were supposed to experience a farm stay. But a squadron of mosquitoes continue to attack us. In the end, we had to abandon the farm stay and gone back to the city instead.

Dabbling In The Water

For this recent trip, we were staying in a hotel next to the Glasgow Botanical Gardens. We thought we would be able to have an early morning. Unfortunately, the weather was not favourable. If not because of this beautiful moment that we came across, our morning outing would be a disaster. I like the simplicity of the image and the soft touch of light after a drizzle.

One After Another

Initially, I was attracted by the simplicity of the poles. I noted a pair of birds was heading towards this end. Waiting for a right moment was the only requirement. Fortunate to have the soft touch of the morning light that gave a warmer touch of the whole scene.
This is one of lovely images that I captured at Derwent Water during my recent trip.
The other two images that I captured at the same outing are:
“Serene Derwent Water” and
“Mirror Image”.
