[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Heeren street - the most famous street in Malacca where tourists all go to. There are many shops selling all kinds of things that caters to the travellers. The oldest Chinese temple of 400 years in Malacca is in this street. Collectors items such as antiques are abundant here.
Malacca is also famous for the Flower trishaw ride where for a small sum you are ferried all over Malacca to the famous and historical spots.
In a narrow street like this one where you are riding in one of these trishaws, you automatically become the "King of the Road". You will cause a traffic jam right behind you as the street is too narrow to allow even a car to overtake the trishaw! ;-)

The workshop version gives you a closer look at the jam!

Hi Tan,
I think I preferred this work than the other one in the workshop, to show the regality of this trishaw on the Heeren streets. Your angle is illustrative but the trishaw and the line of traffics behind it, is not expressive enough Tan. Getting closer or getting the the procession closer to you would be expressive to show how the trishaw affects the traffic. But I'm not saying I didn't see the point of empty space in front of the trishaw to show how slow it is that there's nothing in front of it.
My thought Tan
