Long tail, a photo from Krabi, South

Photographer's Note

The long-tail boat is a type of watercraft native to Southeast Asia, which uses a common automotive engine as a readily available and maintainable powerplant.

A craft designed to carry passengers on a river may include a lightweight long canoe hull, up to 30 meters, and a canopy.

There is much variation among these boats, and in rural areas they may be improvised from bamboo and traditional materials梩he sole defining characteristic is a secondhand car or truck engine.

Hello Karen,
Very beautiful colours of the boat and the sea.
Original idea to shoot this long-tail boat on the front and to put it in a vertical format.
I also like the frame you made with the yellow line.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Karyn,

From the decorations this boat is carrying one can immediately note that it is a Thai boat.
Well done in captivating these beautiful colours as well moored in a wonderful beach.
The positioning is well thought and the detail is immense.
Congrat and well done,

Regards,

Thomas
