[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Life is not easy...everyone knows that. Everyone? Maybe not. That man in photo knows. His life seems hard, not only because poor moto but also because I saw his dirty eyes. And eyes don´t lie...
He probably return to home after a hard day of work. And sometimes home is not a nice escape...

Hi Spoony - it has been a long time since we last saw you here on TE. Good to see this new photo from you, in which the sepia toning works nice to enhance the simple countryside view with the worker approaching on his motorbike. The dark toning enhances the slightly desolate mood described in your note. Good shot.

Serwus Carlos !
You touched me with this beautiful image and Your right remarks in the note.
Mood like from "born to be wild" or "born to run". But actually, surprise - "born to work hard", here.
You express some universal truth about our little world, about sad times in many regions. And i appreciate most such sensitivity, like Yours.

Your portfolio is marvellous, i saw many images "from the road", i heard "bells of freedom ringing" in them. Give me some time to get to know them.
Be well,
Mat

Hi Carlos,
A nice (I should say with a sad content) photo and perspective.
Nice sepia.
Best regards,
Didier

Ola Carlos, & good to see a new post from you.

I like the superb tonal range & lighting in this image. The roads adds linear perspective. Obrigado & parabens!

So, this is it, for first shot for nearly a year. Very apt title and subject. I like the simple compo and B&W treatment.

Nice to see you back Carlos.
Good shot of this man on the bike. Good choice to have it in bw - ads a lot to the mood.

Thhis is a black and white thazt goes well with the simple life situation.
Very artistic framing with a great part to the road and the man in the perspective.
Compliments

Hi Carlos,
I'm gladly to you see again, well come back!
And directly with a B/W picture, the depth is very nice, perspective also, maybe a little dark but very attractive for looking.
Thanks a lot for visit!
Best regards.
John.

Ola Carlos, it's great to see you posting again, wellcome back! And your 'come back photo' is a very strong one with a stark fifty-ish atmosphere. It's certainly a picture that tells a story with it s deep composition and xpert placement of the man in the frame. Very good job,
Best regards from Rotterdam, Bert

Welcome back Carlos, the sepia tones work pretty well here, the angle on the road and the position of the biker is excellent, well done.
