[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bangkok is a typical asian metropolis, with almost nothing in common with the western metropolis. For example there isn't any "downtown" or historical centre, but lot's of small "downtowns". Orientation can became a dificult task, and combined with the, often, terrible trafic, can make the stroll around the city something like a big adventure in a gigantic labyrinth. One of the best ways to explore the city is the sky train, and the metro that's under construction will solve many problems. Until then, the best way to get to know the city, is to take a traditional tuk-tuk. Especially in the case that the driver has the ambition to become sort of a Thai Schumacher or Alonso, it will be an experience never to forget.

Hi Hercules,
A very timely posting with the coup d' etat in Thailand last night. Yup traffic is horrendous in Thailand as in many other Asian cities. I love the pov and the sense of speed of the tuk-tuk in your photo. A very good daily life photo. Best wishes. Danilo

Hi Hercule
Interesting composition around this speed race. I like your idea and the realisation is great.
Well done

Γειά σου Hercules, ωραία φωτογραφία που εντυπωσιάζει με το δραστικό εφέ που δίνει.

Καταπληκτική φωτογραφία που σου δημιουργεί την αίθηση του ιλίγγου! Εξαιρετική η ιδέα να εστιάσεις στο κάθισμα δίνοντας την εντύπωση της κίνησης σε όλο το άλλο πεδίο! Μπράβο!

Hi Hercules,
what a speed!! I have giddiness ;o))
Nice capture. Good colours and composition.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Hola Hercules,
Buena imagen la que has captado en este taxi tan peculiar, no sé si jugándote la vida, pero la acción y el dinamismo que se puede ver, que denota una cierta velocidad entre los otros vehículos, da un poco de miedo.
Al poner la foto se entiende que no te ocurrió nada. La has realizado muy bien, me gusta.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hi,
Very original shot. The exposure is as good as it can, the flash is welcome.
Well done.
JB.

Hi Hercules,
good idea, unusual view. Interesting composition and note. Good show of motion. I like it.
Gr., Aleksander

Ηρακλή γειά σου,
Η έξυπνη τεχνική της λήψης είναι αυτή που σε τούτη φωτογραφία μετράει περισσότερο και την έκανες με τον καλύερο τρόπο.Απλή αλλά και δυναμική μαζί. Μου άρεσε η σημείωσή σου .
Φιλικά

Great shot! We feel so much the speed. And it is so real, I've been so scared in many occasions in the same situation.

Hi my friend
original and interesting idea, the feeling you give us of speed is amazing

Hi Hercules,
A great shot from a nice point of view. I like the movement that you have captured on the sides and I also like the reflection of the driver in the mirror. Driving in one of these is quite an experience.
Regards
Wanda

Hola Hercules,

Fantástica imagen amigo, el efecto de movimiento es perfecto, gran colorido y una composición buenísima, parece que también vayamos nosotros montados en ese pequeño vehículo, excelente trabajo!

Saludos
