Great photo of "daily life". The DOP is excellent and the sharpness too. I really like the way you captured the concentration on the man's face.

Nice lens! Some burnout on the blue basket. Still very good photo.

Hi Valens
I saw your previous pictures, I like them a lot
This shot is also very authentic
I like this composition with the man and his self rolled tobacco cigarette
I would have cropped the background just a bit

Amazing sharpness in this photo. The striking color of the blue basket contrasting the natural wood colors really makes the shot interesting. I also like the orange in the background.

What an excellent shot!
The colours are deep and the detail is rich, but beyond the wonderful technical quality of the shot we get such a brilliant feeling of the place. I can almost feel the wet bamboo beneath my feet, feel the weight of the bike! You have managed to capture a simply blissful moment of Life! The concentration is obvious, everything is just perfect. You have managed to frame it really well and the people behind fit so brilliantly.
Truly excellent work!
Congratulations and TFS!
