Photographer’s Note

Somewhere on the road from Kuta to Ubud our car met a colouful procession,I was so excited by the sight of it that I asked the taxi driver to pull over and I run before them to snap some pictures. As the procession passes it meets a group of students coming back from school in their scooters. This boy was leading the scooters and had this apparently universal posture of boys of certain age, struggling to be part of a group, to be accepted...

Bonjour Flavia,
belles couleurs locales et des lumières qui les rendent avec baucoup de nuances. Une photo festive sous le soleil, deux choses qui pour le moment nous manquent un peu en Belgique.
Amicalement
Daniel.

Hi Flavia,

You sure picked a good title for this shot. The boy's look is great, good interpretation of it, too. I would have prefered the interesting background to be less unfocussed. And please tell me the lovely hidden self-portrait is intended.

Boa captura deste cotidiano tão diferente e exótico que é o Indonésio. Cores ótimas e um corte excelente, e difícil, que resulta numa ótima composição. Valeu Flávia!!
Abraço,
Zeca

Hi Flavia,
This iamge has a very natural feel to it, providing us viewers with a glimpse into the Indonesian culture. The contrast of the young shool boys on the motor bikes and the procession of people in traditional dress, seems to work extremely well. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Olá Flavia,
Maravilhosa cena onde se junta o tradicional com o moderno. Composição original, com grande dinamismo e bons detalhes.
Um abraço,
Charo

Hello Flavia,
This is a special shot, devided in two worlds, the traditional one and the modern one. And in the shadow I can see the one who captured this all :-)))
