[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This acrobatic moped driver was crossing Jema el Fna in Marrakech. I think he is not afraid of falling - but what if?!
There are over a 1000 eggs on his bike.

Ciao Pierre,
Troppo simpatica questa foto! Non oso immagginare cosa possa accadere in caso di incidente! Comunque bravo per aver saputo cogliere al volo l'occasione.
Ciao, Nino.

Oh my!!! This is pretty amazing!! He must have good balance. What happens if he falls?
Great capture. great composition.

Bonsoir Pierre,
Excellent portrait et très amusant! Il a l'air quand même un peu crispé... En cas de fausse manoeuvre, c'est l'omelette assurée!
Amitiés,
Catherine

a great "seize the moment" photo. Well done

Bonjour Pierre,
Photographiquement parlant, l'image aurait été plus réussie s'il n'y avait pas eu les deux autres vélomoteurs dans l'angle. Mais je comprends parfaitement que lorsqu'on saisit ce genre de scène à la volée, tout ne peut pas être parfait. La photo a tout de même une grande valeur documentaire sur le transport des oeufs à Marrakech et je me demande bien s'il n'y a pas de temps à autre des petits accidents provoquant des omelettes! ;o)
Amicalement, Brigitte

olá, quite interesting photo. a true journalistic one! I hope that this guy have not to ride in a street full of holes! cheers.

I can imagine the huge omelette, type Guinness book of records, being made on the streets of Marrakech! The guy is quite courageous going around the town with a load of 1000 eggs. The use of his shoes (type seen around the world now!!!) must help him a lot!!! It is a very funny photo and well done for a street snapshot with time for thinking about the POV and composition.
