In Cambodia and Vietnam you can get very cheap transport by getting a motorbike with a driver. It is a quick and great method to get around.

Hi Wanda!
Nice capture of this common kind of transportation in S.E.Asia.Good high POV and I like the diagonal of the scooter.
Í`ll be in Cambodia again in december.
I have seen your image from Kampot;is it worth a visit?
Regards,Leo

Very funny shot with one monk facing one direction and the other the other one. Very typical from his part of the world, great colours, great sense of motion.

hello Wanda
good framing, nice contrasts of colors, interesting shot, good sharpness for that action capture
regards

Hi Wanda,
the colourful diagonal movement is funny, a bit overloaded, I think. Good capture and also the choice of the format and final composition.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wande!

Excellent daily life scene! Only the substance of the subject is here, in this "tight" framing, nothing "useless". Congratulations!

Hi Wanda,
I saw this scene so many times specially on my ride on a double decker bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Raep. But never had the opportunity to capture this image. Nice one.

I love the way these monks enjoy life, infact have seen them play soccer and listen to music as well and thats quite an adorable sight, as lovely as this one which you have captured here wich is intrinsically an Asian image! lovely colours and textures. great work

Ho ho Wanda what monks on motorbike, great daily life composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Wanda,
I have never been to Cambodia, but I remember how those orange monks were so inviting to photograph.
Beside the documentary intrest, I think it is also very effective as a "photo". It's not usual that a shot taken from behind results so well, I guess that this has something to do with the pov and their pose, along with the vivid colour of their clothes, of course.
Regards, José.

Hello Wanda,

Monks on a motorbike!
Nice shot with the two monks each on a side of the motorbike, the colourful diagonal movement is funny, well done. TFS.

Emma.

Hello Wanda,
it's an unusual point of view for a panning shot, but it works quite well actually!! I think it's because it's making a diagonal. I like that you kept the dark triangle in the top left corner because it balances the triangle in the lower right corner.
The monks with their orange coat, with cool sandals each on their side. Very good shot!
Have a nice day,
Marc
