Photographer’s Note

Almost like the national vehicle of the country, the tricycle, although not the most comfortable, will take you anywhere you want for a charge relatively above the usual means of public transportation like the jeepneys, buses or metro-rail.

One can also hire them for a day or a few hours. Very flexible during peak traffic hours but can be annoying due to the noise and smoke they produce.

Hi Alex,
A very strong composition here. I like the white lines as a background and the position of the yellow cab on the go..
Cheers,
Claire

Hi Alex Magallona..!

You've taken it quite professionaly.A picture with unique touch.POV is very good.
I really liked the way vehicle is bisecting the lines on the road.Crispiness is not cool, but angle is good enough for this picture to get a critique :-)
Nice one in the end.
(Best of luck for future)

Hello Alex,

I appreciate a lot the composition of this photo with the grey ground in opposition with the strong yellow color of the cyclo. Moreover, the white stripes are providing an attractive pattern when reading the photo.
Nevertheless, I am a little annoyed by the blur on the cyclo. I find it is either too much blur or not enough. More blur will provide a better idea of movement and give a more graphical effet, less blur, a sharp cyclo would provide a more classical view. Here, just in the middle is perhaps not the better setting. If you have the possibility, I would suggest to try again at the same place because all the other elements are good.

Yves.

Bonjour Alex.
L'originalité de la photo vient des bandes blanches qui, sur fond noir, font un beau graphisme pour mettre le véhicule en valeur. Le jaune semble la seule couleur et c'est bon pour la photo.
Amical salut !
