BOATS! Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Took this after the Bun festival on Cheung Chau island. The news reporters said there were about 300,000 people on the island that day. It sure was chaos when it was time to leave!!

I guess traffic jams in HK have extended to water-transport too!!

This was also a challenge from Maciek to see how many boats I could get into the frame... Not as many as I could have!!

Actually, this is what I think daily life is like on Cheung Chau island!

Great shot! Lots of colours and the background makes it look even more chaotic than it already is... It just surprises me that not many people are visible on the picture.

Great shot. Vibrant colours and just so much detail for your eye to wander over. TI think the line of tyres on the central boat gives the shot a focal point.

Great strong colours. A scene full of life. This time the confusion makes the composition.

Cet ensemble de couleurs évoque une peinture naïve. Bien vu !

Lots and lots of boats! A very effective composition to create a crowded photo. I hope each of them finds it way out without getting a rope tangled around the propeller... Well captured.

Great composition and colours of the commotion here. The scene is very nice with small details all over the frame.
