Photographer’s Note

Some appropriate words from Queen to accompany this photograph of a scene observed on the streets of Jaipur:

Bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like

You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite
You say shark I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars
You say Rolls I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is

Stephen, that is an amazing sight!
Well caught from your elevated viewpoint. The quality of the exposure is excellent, and the shadows look great. A pity, perhaps, that motor scooter was in the bottom right corner. But a very nice shot.

Hello Stephen. Another photo from the exotic India. Again a shot from above. The bicycle as ideal vehicles for transportation. Worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Bonjour Snunney,
cet équipage va dépasser le tonnage autorisé à bicyclette :) C'est une belle image, dont la prise en plongée donne une vue plus complète de cette scène. C'est bien vu et bien réalisé. Très bon travail.
Bonne journée
Cordialement
Joël

Hi Stephen,
Belle vue plongeante sur une scéne trés belle de ce pays, une façon économique de transport mais surement plus fatiguant, belle lumiére, compliment
Have a nice evening for you

Hello Stephen
Une bonne photo de vie quotidienne, bien saisie. Cet engin parait bien frêle sous ce chargement volumineux. Un bon moyen de "débrouille".
Bonne réalisation, bien vivante.
Amicalement
Hervé

Hello Stephen,
great note of some of my all time favourites with a very pleasant capture. I like the high POV and clarity of this one with those strong contrasts of the light. Very well positioned people in the capture.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

bonjour
tres belle photo prise en plongée de ces moyens de transport; ma foi les bicyclettes doivent être très solides pour supporter tout ce poids
tres bonne netteté et couleurs
