Bike Repair Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Vietnam is very much a country on two wheels -- bicycles and motorbikes are the most common form of transport. In Hoi An, in the downtown area, cars are banned, so everyone (tourists included) tend to be on bicycle. Good news for the bike repair guy.

Very colorfull, detailed shot, but at the same time well composed and I like, how you have placed the worker. He looks so keen of his doings and his work position is not western style, not surroundings either. Interesting shot. Good to see this.

For a guy like me who loves bikes, all kind of rusty tools and machines your choice of subejct works very well... Great composition/framing with many nice details. Very interesting man at work shot, Mimi.

Nice daily life portrati, with well used contextual detail. Slight quibble here, the AF seems to be working (for some odd reason) on the compressor behind him, still leaving him acceptably sharp, but the bike, that's focus of attention, rather soft. Still a nice one.
