Wonderful image Wanda,

While one hopes not get all the clutter in an image - that reflects the village life there. One hopes to get the background clear - such as the hidden portion of another animals - but such a moment you did not hesitate a captured the scene as it was.

Hi Wanda. Nice scene which shows the bond that exists between such a powerful animal and the boy. Very good POV that reveals a few extra aspects of life in the hills. Regards. Klaudio.

Dag Wanda,
Mooi hoe die jongen geconcentreerd de buffel rijd, alsof het zijn dagelijks werk is...en dat is het miusschien ook wel. Je ziet zijn voeten sturen en het stokje in zijn handen laat zien dat het voor hem een serieuze aangelegenheid....mooie foto.
Groetjes, Henk

This is so cute. I saw these little guys riding the buffalo in the Philippines and wanted to get a picture of this but never did. This is really great, I like the expression on the little boy, and the pov is pefect. TFS

Hi Wanda,
good presentation of the riding kid, but the most impressing is for me the water reflection with the grass and reflected buffalo. Good managed less light.

Hello WandaWoman!

Because of the way you've photographed this scene, without complaisance and not trying to embellish it, your image have a documentary approach. It's a visual evidence of resilience to hard life and the capacity of humans to adapt to harsh conditions.

Your camera should be ready today - will leave to SA Monday.

Have a great weekend!

Maybe a bit too much of the FG but a lovely photo, funny - serious expression of the little boy and all the surroundings (tyre etc) add great interest to the scene.
Compliments,
Best regards,
Cath.

Hi Wanda,

Good shot! It really shows us the way of living in Vietnam. I like the composition, but I think the black animal (a goat?) is a bit distracting. Of course, this is personal and it's not always easy to choose what you include in your picture. Well done!

Greetings,

Hello Wonder Woman,
at least that is what you suggest with your intro shot and with many posts here at TE :-)
This one is a nice example of these wonders that you create with your little Canon machine. The composition and action is a very nice one and if it wouldn't be for the old tire interfering with the buffalo horn's it could be an outstanding image. The texture and color of the tire and the horn are to similar and does some pixel confusion in my retina.

hello wanda

a wonderful moment capture! of course, i wish the boy was looking at you, but alas, cannot get everything we want, right? :) that old tire gave me a scare for a moment: looked almost like a crocodile...

congratulations!

Hi Wanda

Amazing and very vivid shot. The title is this picture is going very well with the shot. Its very natural shot since the boy did not know that he is been shot. Wow a very good composition and a very splendid POV.

Regards,

Lopshang.
