We had a day off so we went to Ben Thanh market (the Saigon equivalent of Bangkok's Chattuchak Market). While the ladies busied themselves with the plethora of goods (and driving some very hard bargains), I decided to take some shots. This is Commander Tran Nguyen Han. A 15th century Vietnamese warrior who helped King Le Loi defeat the Ming. I just love the colours. It was evening time on an overcast day. The sun was setting and the sunrays turned the bronze statue a nice gold. :) This is not a "photoshopped" image. I just used Picasa to sharpen (cos the D70 loves to soften images!) and crop the image.
