sharing a joke Photo

Photographer’s Note

In Cambodia, I found in general people to be open and very friendly, not only towards me but moreover, towards each other. People have time for each other. In busy bus stations and markets, you see people spontaneously laughing, there certainly doesnt seem to be the same amount of stress and agression that we see in some parts of the western world. I am not trying to depict Cambodia as a Utopia. But maybe we should learn to relax a bit and remember to smile :)
Tech: I have non absolutly nothing with this except add a frame, I was thinking of cropping the background, but decided to leave it.

Very busy and yet representative of daily life photograph. I like the candid composition with this profusion of colours so reminding of eastern countries. Well seen. Thank you for sharing.

I missed this one yesterday, another happy shot from Cambodia, I agree very much with the note. Your title here notes the key to this compo, but suggests a different cropping, focussing on the two in the foreground, the one in the mauve top, dealing with her stall is clearly otherwise preoccupied, and spoils the dynamic, I tried a WS.
