Buffalo Cart II Photo

Photographer’s Note

I've posted a picture of this cart earlier. Looking back over this summer's overlooked shots, I thought it worth posting this second view, mainly because I quite like the reflection of the temple in the flood.

Bonjour Richard, on ne risque pas de dépasser les limitations de vitesse avec ce genre de moyen de locomotion, très originale, un beau paysage autour, bravo.
amitié.

Great scenery Richard. Buffalo-LandRover! ;-) I like the lights and colours here. Reflection is very cool too.
Cheers, Don.

Bravo.

Lovely colours, details and DOF, Richard! The water reflections are really wonderful and by the way you composed the shot, placing the cart in right, we can enjoy all details in a fine way. Very well done indeed!

Perfect metering, DOF and use of the rule of thirds.Very well done!

Nice shot, Richard. I love the reflection, especially with the green flecks in the muddy water. While the placement of the guy and his cart is effective, I'm a little bothered by the fact that the buildings and trees in teh background are cut off in the middle. I'd like to see either a higher or a lower angle. I tried a WS to crop to pano, which would have worked well except that the guy's head gets chopped off.

PS -- I'm going to Ankgor Wat (and Vietnam) in December!!

A most interesting daily life scene from Cambodia, Richard. The buffalo cart and the farmer sitting on it add a pleasant touch to this composition, in which the opportunity with the reflection was of course well spotted - I always find photos where the reflection shows more than is visible "above" intriguing. Well done.

A fine moment you captured here - I like that special Cart and the building presented as reflections - A fine job - thanks Richard, for sharing your nice holiday shots

A beautiful capture, Richard. A very effective position of the cart and the buffalos, with an amazing view on the puddle. I like the way that the reflection in the water shows what we cannot see. A very interesting, well captured shot.

Great use of the water for an indirect glimpse of the temples through a reflection.

It's a great simbolic space for cambodia,very well captured with notice to details of building in reflections,great work you did,Richard,and well composed,too.I like it .

nice picture Richard, well composed witth the cart on the side and the lake as the main point of the picture. but the lake is overexposed in those bright parts, bigger camera would handle it much better ;)
have you decided to buy a digital SLR? and i will try to find those pictures from the park tomorrow finally...
