Fisherman on the Laos Mekong River

I was on a small group trip on the Mekong River in Laos. ON this day we had to switch to a local long boat to reach Vientiane, as the river was too shallow for our regular boat to reach Vientiane. I spent as much time as I could outside taking pictures of scenes along the river. I saw that this fisherman had caught something, and was able to get the shot.
