Rickshaw at Times Square, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

He world economic crisis create new jobs, like rickshaw, kind of bike or tricycle, sometimes with a small electrical motor to help the driver

I have seen them all over Orient but later also in London, Paris, Munich and New York

This one was stopped at a traffic light in Times Square, the very center of New York, I saw them also working at the Central Park and during early hours of the night, they have plastic to cover and protect the customers from the very cold air
At this capture you can see it turned off, on top of the kind of roof

Allô Maria!
C'est parfait ce type de taxi et en plus c'est antipollution. Belle prise de vue dans un cadrage serré et belle harmonie de couleurs.
Cordiales salutations,
Emilius

bonjour Maria
Il se passe la même chose en France, la crise a créé des nouveaux emplois.
Une scène intéressante bien cadrée
Le contraste est un peu fort, c'est normal car le capteur de ta caméra s'est ajustée sur les parties sombres, dans ce cas il faut légèrement sous exposer

Hola Maria,
surprising to see someone rickshaw in NY and the most interesting is to see a no Chinese man to drive it.A good reportage shot from NY and an excellent note about the crisis all over the world.

Have a good weekend,Danos

Hello Maria,
NY has many faces-cosmopolitan,but sometimes also more provincial,like in this case.I like this special feeling and atmosphere you were able to convey here.Although we´re middle in the concrete jungle at Times Square,we feel like we were somewhere in a small town.Cleverly done!

Have a nice weekend
Krzysztof

Hi Maria
A catchy street photography with the stunning rickshaw which turns this to a very appealing result although I miss the whole front wheel This works well too for the background detail, the overall colors are good, clarity is spot on but imho it's slightly overexposed to my liking as the lighting is a bit to harsh there, nevertheless is just fascinating piece of daily life shot, well taken. Congrats, TFS
Kind regards

Hola Maria,
another very interesting and vivid scene. The excellent depth and clarity make us think that we are standing in front of the ricksaw that stopped for a minute its route through the streets of New York. In spite of the tight framing, there's still useful context in the picture. I love the naturalness of the strong morning light and the well defined and pleasing colours both in the lit foreground and the shady background. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hola Maria.
Imagen fantastica y realmente sorprendente, no por la imagen en si, sino por el lugar donde realiza su servicio.
Es un retrato excelente de este conductor y su vehiculo.
Magnífica la nitidez y la buena luminosidad.
Buen trabajo.
Disfruta del fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

P/D. Hacias referencia a las escobas de la tienda de recuerdos, pero es que tambien este articulo es tipico de las montañas de la zona, asi que puede ser que alquien se anime a comprar una.

Hi Maria
Je connaissait ce type de transport dans les pays asiatique, comme en Thailande , mais là sans moteur, le pauvre monsieur, il y allait malgré la forte chaleur
Et bien je trouve cette idée économique géniale, en plus c'est agréable,très belle présentation
Belle soirée

Salut Maria,
Bine cadré même si la roue avant est un peu coupée, Bonne luminosité qui accentue l'effet de ces teintes.

Hi Maria,

Very unusual sight to see a Rickshaw in New York & to capture a good image of it.
The guy riding the three wheeler reminds me of an actor cannot think of his name though.
Thank you so much for your last critic & kind words...
Hoping you are keeping well & life is good!!!

Kindest regards,
Dawn.
