Vietnam's Emperor Gia Long built a vast citadel in Hue in 1806. Within it are three other enclosures -- the Civic, Imperial, and Forbidden Cities. The area was devastated during the Vietnam War, but much of it has been recently restored. This pond of Koi Carp feeds below the bridge over the Imperial City moat. The image is not only a study of water in motion – it is also a study of something in motion while in the water, in this case the frenzied movements of a school of Koi Carp. A tourist was feeding them and they rose to the surface repeatedly to feast on the treats. I made many images of this scene to get this emotionally charged image, featuring many open mouths and beady eyes.
