Moto Photo #2, a photo from Ho Chi Minh, South East

Photographer's Note

The ubiquitous moto's flood Saigon's streets, people buzzing from A to B. It is quite a site to see a sea of traffic like this, and quite a challenge to cross the road!

Hi Justin. You definitely have captured the chaos and the streams of traffic.B&W suits the topic well. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Justin,
You captured a nice slice of the moto chaos, I like the grainy black and white as it adds to the urban gritty feel. Nice title too.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Justin,

only 4 points for that!?! I can´t believe it!
You had an excellent POV, and you had to be fast! Great daily life scene with unique framing.

Hi Justin

Love the grain to this photo and the strong contrast used. It never ceases to amaze me, a whole family seated on a motor cycle and the apparent lack of accidents and tragedies happening there. Anyway, a decisive moment, I've always wanted to photograph something like this and you did a great job with it.

Cheers
Lisa

PS: Saw Nick & The Badseeds last week...they haven't lost their touch!

Hi Justin
Brings back memories of my brief visit to HCMC. Head gear might be compulsory for the adults - but what about the child? This subject matter is well portrayed in B&W. Tfs, Marlene

Great grains! This is a fine piece of work, Justin. Well chosen edge, as well. I like how the girl in the middle adds frailty to the scene. Her pointing the finger to you is maybe just a bit too much. I also like the look of determination on the face of the biker top left. Get ready...go!
