From Duong Dong town on the island of Phu Quoc. The woman seems to tell her child to look at the funny man with the camera, while the two men are too busy with their game to bother.

Howdy Holmertz!
Very interesting scene. Original dynamic shot. Good POV and capture.
TFS!

Hej Gert,
Full concentration on the game! Good composition with the tilting angles of the boxes and table, something of Cézanne over this. Also nice with her green clothes as dominating colour, together with the red bowl behind a hole in the wall (?). Very good observation to include that.

Hej Gert
It always strikes me, the way they are sitting in East and S-E Asia always whit ther knees up to the ears.. fascinating.
It's also good that the mother taking your attention as it gives us a closer feeling to the subject .
and other small thing is the so typical red dish bowl you can see in the in the glimpse of light in BG.

Hi Gert
very nice shot!Good composition and beautiful colours,POV,well done.
TFS/Regards

A daily life scene, but very well observed ! I like to see the 2 unusual (for us) ways to sit on a bench...
A very typical scene of south east Asia, we are really plunged into the atmosphere here !
I also like the red plastic bucket at the end of the alley, giving an idea of the place...
Compliments,
Cath.
(I'll add this to my 2nd favorites, to remember !)

Hej Gert
Nicely captured scene. It's a proof that if one really needs entertainment, will find it everywhere. Those people didn't need a casino, just wooden boxes were sufficient.
I like the look of the woman, her eye contact with you. She also makes such a nice contrast to the players, so concentrated. It's funny that both boxes stand "this side up" , as the signs indicate ;-)
That red spot in the back attracts attention...
I'd suggest slightly lower POV, to be on the same level as the people photographed, but it's just my impression.
Best regards
Joanna
