Well used DoF here,picking out the rickshaw, but leaving the background clear enough to set the context. Interesting tosee oter rickshaws working in the scene, pointing out that this is still an important form of transport here.

A very good black & white with good composition and good use of DOF.

Bonjour Yan,
très belle image n&b, la lumière est très bien exploitée, le constraste ni trop fort ni trop faible.
En quelque sorte un instant décisif et une scène de vie.

good morning yan,
good dily life shot - nice documentary; technically a very good DOF and appropiate conversion to black & white; artistically a well composed image with a good story ... riksha's are interesting ... well, maybe not that interesting for the one in the front (the riksha driver)... but for us viewers, not accustomed to this kind of transport in our daily lives - they are interesting.
overall aesthetics*****
well done and tfs,
dora

Bonsoir Yan
une conversion en n&b très bien vu. La netteté sur les personnages donne un excellent relief. J'aime bien le cadrage choisi
Bravo

Hi Yan,

Saya suka hitam/putih juga (not sure if that's correct Indonesian :O)) and I think it fits this image very well because it kind of isolate the driver from the background.....with
the background still being there it's nice and not disturbing.

Bagus sekali.
