The Hat, a photo from Quang Nam, South Central Coast

Photographer's Note

This photo was taken in Hoi An, Vietnam. I was enjoying my morning coffee and tasty pastry at the Cargo Club Cafe watching Vietnamese daily life unfold in front of me, as the local people were going about their business I started taking photos from my seat on the patio. This is one of the image that I captured. I hope you like it.

Hi Spiros,
Another great picture. The POV is excellent, giving us a subtile impressions of the typic wall colors of Hoi An (this yellow and this blue/green/gray).
Thanks for sharing!!

Bonsoir Spiros,

J'aime énormément ce cadrage de dos, serré, laissant place aux détails. Joli flou derrière, lumineux et coloré mais l'ensemble manque un peu de peps me semble t'il ! Ca reste une belle photo.

Stéphanie.

Hi Spyro!

This is one of the best portraits I 've seen so far and a great daily life scene. We don't see very often portraits like this in TE. It's so diferent than the usual, a very original one.Great composition and framing, great "shallow" depth of field. Congratulations!

An intriguing image Spiros. The Vietnamese hat has always captured my imagination and this one is the most creative use of one with some great composition, dof, lights, pov and general photographic talent. Love the subtle earth colours that underline the image and an interesting framing.

Your capture is simple but it gives me a strong nostalgia and reminds me the song with that name by Julio Iglesias.

Thank you.

Nice shot Spiros. Very nice bokeh with strong sharpness. A very well presented perspective. Great representation of Vietnamese with the unique hate. Well done. Sothy

Hi Spiros,
I was taking a look at your gallery today and you have some excellent images from South East Asia. That hat is so typical of SE Asia in general and Vietnam in particular. Excellent POV.

Σπύρο γειά σου,
ωραία η σύνθεσή σου με τον μεταφορέα άνδρα ή γυναίκα δε έχει σημασία στο Βιέτ-Ναμ.Πολύ καλός ο φωτισμός και το χρώμα.Το καπέλλο του που είναι κομμένο από επάνω μοιάζει σαν λαμπατέρ.Εξαιρετική δουλειά.
Φιλικά,Δάνος

Spiros: simple, minimalist and effective composition. Lots of rustic detail to capture the viewer, even without a countenance - making this shot all the more effective. regards, c
