I fully agree with Peter :)
It seems the conditions werent as great as it could have been - hence the haziness in some
It's the kind of images that make me wish I was there - beautiful place.

This sequence brings back very pleasant memories of a Mekong boat trip that I did in 2008.  Thanks for sharing.

The first and last for me as well. I think both would look very interesting in B&W.

I would agree with Gary on the B&W part, as those seems quite "out of time"... :-)

I like the whole set, especially #3 because of shallow DOF.

Concerning #4, I'd suggest to raise the overall contrast and maybe saturation. The bright, OOF water surface disturbs a bit: darkening it (and possibly the upper area too) would attract attention towards the boat, which seems OK since the people are obvioulsy smiling at you.
