Photographer’s Note

I took this picture while visiting the Chong Kneas floating village on Tonle Sap Lake. From the boat we were traveling I saw this floating school with a bunch of kids getting in and out. The bright colours of the building and the unreal white uniforms of these kids struck me, they were in such contrast with the surroundings, with the dirty colour of the lake and floating houses in this so poor place in Cambodia. It got in to my heart instantly.

hello Tony. The palette of olours is amazing; seems like it was drawn with a collection of Caran d'Ache pencils. I love the graphical dimension brought up by the multiple horiontal and vertical lines. Well framed.

Hi Tony,

Very nice vertical composition. I like the contrast between the vibrant red, yellow, blue and green colors and the white tops of the students. Well done, look forward to seeing more great photos from you.
