[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Malange, sleepy drowsy capital of the Angolan prvence with the same name. On one side of the Sunday market these guys hang around waiting for customers. Riding comfortably on the buddy seat of their freshly from China imported Sezeki ( for real) they wil bring you and your groceries home, or, when you have to go into the bush,where no 4 wheel can take you, these are the guys you have to talk too.
I cropped the photo a little to get rid of half people on the sides, worked a little bit on the overal colours ( brought exposure one click down) and then intensified the mud colour a little bit by working with the magic stick.

Hi Jan,

Nice to see that Angola has motocycle taxis too! Lively scene w/ good vivid colours. TFS

This type of taxi/transportation in Angola is new for me. But it would be great if it works!
Your photo is very good with an excellent POV and superb colours. Well done.
Antonio
