What guided this image
Landmarks
Notre-Dame Cathedral of Saigon; Saigon Central Post Office; Bitexco Financial Tower; Saigon River; Ben Thanh Market; Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Building; Tao Dan Park; lush southern Vietnamese tropical flora
Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across Paris Square toward the twin towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the yellow facade of the Central Post Office, or looking across the Saigon River toward District 1, showing tamarind tree branches and flowerbeds in the foreground, the historic red-brick cathedral, stone plaza, and colonial facades in the middle-ground, and the slender lotus silhouette of Bitexco Tower fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the colossal canopies of dipterocarp and tamarind trees lining District 1 boulevards, Tao Dan Park, and floating river hyacinths.
