Water Puppet (Hanoi, Vietnam)

Wonderful water performance! Great captured scene Cherlyn just like all the other insets. I love them all. Though this picture whith the lady poppets is real exceptional. Outstanding colours and light and great reflection in the water. The presence of the beautiful curtain in the background is a great addition to the shot. And bravo for your intro and explanation Cherlyn. Very nice manner to get in contact with the interesting art traditions of other cultures. Before I saw this picture I had never heard before in my life of this kind of theatre. Thank you Cherlyn for share this information and wonderful pictures you have made during your trip. Many greetings, Ada:)

Thank you for not only a fabulous image but for all the time and effort you put into sharing this display of cultural art! Really nicely captured.

Great effort on all your info, great work.

Very original shot. Well done Cherlyn. Regards Michael.

I have never heard of water puppets before either, these are really beautiful. The photo is great; the dark surroundings bring the puppets out with their sharp colors. Like how they "fade out" in the back, also the light is very good. And the water-reflections make the photo all the more interesting. Well done.
