Hectic trafic in the center of Saigon / Ho Chi Minh city.
Christmas eve, thousends of young people on motorbikes converge downtown.

Hi Emmanuel,
Beautiful urban image... What I appreciate here is that despite the big crowd, we can easily dissociate the image in individual elements and fix our attention on them. Love the golden hues that cover the scene. It is difficult to be succesful with images so reach in content, but you managed to produce a very particular feeling in this one. Congrats!
Andre

Excellent, I can almost feel the bustle, great night time colours, especially with all the reflections & headlights.

Nice one, Emmanuel!
Frame full of young people on bikes,
good colours and plenty of details.
Lovely traffic shot,
Robi

Hi Emmanuel,
I like the ballet of scooters, colorful helmest and shirts. Excellent light and tones. The tight framing is good and the fact that they all go in the same direction gives a great interest to the shot. It looks like a race departure! Good job!

I can hear thoss horns...........a thousand honda dreams, the tight framing adds to the chaos. Nice tones also.

An interesting slice of street life, Emmanuel, with the sort of Christmas Eve viewpoint many of us may never see. Thanks for taking us there. The lighting is interesting; your color is good; and you make us feel a part of the crowd. Well done.
