Decided to take photos of this naked streets' world. Here is one of the result from a curious eye of mine :) Near Tan Dinh market, 6:58pm, this cyclo driver was longing for a waving signal in a chaos of rushing people by the end of working day.

Hi Huy
A clever contrast between the high speed moving background and the static driver.

Very good concept here, good speed contrast - statsis and movement well captured. Colors are a little too red perhaos, and you might have wanted to decentralize the driver but it's a cool shot just the same (I might try a workshop to give the colors more YELLOW/GREEN.
Best wishes,
Francis

Nice shot, I like the movement in front of the cyclo. But the cyclo miss a bit of focus, that you can solve with photoshop or other.
Nice composition,
Cheers, Jean-Claude

Hi Huy,
This is a great capture!
I like a lot all the action that is going on at the background: the relatively low shutter speed worked great to capture the movements of the cars and others across the street, while the focus on the cyclo driver are spot on.
I think you made a magnificent composition here.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Hello Huy!
Thanks for passing by in my galleries! And thanks for your comments! I'll return your compliment on this shot! It is truly exceptional to me, as you could capture the two sides of an asian city street life (you walk or you are on a bike/taxi)! When I look at this picture I clearly see myself in these streets where i walked soo many times!

Great shot, thaks a lot!
Best regards, Pascal

Hi Huy,
I really like this shot. The stillness of the cyclo driver and the chaos of movement beyond creates a wonderful contrast. Good use of the available light and great idea!

Wanda

Hi Huy,

I find your shot really superbe, especially I love the motion blur in the BG and the overexposed spots, I love the colours too.
I would have only preferred to see a bit his face, but I really like the shot.

Bravo

Marco

I love riding in these, dangerous, but fun. I love the food too!!!!

Huy: the effect of the passing traffic you achieved here is remakable. All around great shot. regards, c

It is not original from my side to have selected this photo for comments but I really like it.
There is a strong opposition between the life and the movement of the street translated in blur and this guy taking some rest on his cyclo.
A good and strong shot,

Yves.
