Sleeping, a photo from Quang Nam, South Central Coast

Photographer's Note

Motobike is not only transport, it's a home for vietnamese people, it's modus vivendy. Eating, sleeping, manicure, reading - all of them they doing on motobike and I think it's not all:) Absolutely acrobatic nation!

Why so few points? The mysteries of TE! This is a kind of 'documentary' or reporting style of photo, I think. It's very contrasty and closely cropped, and this adds to its impact. There is good sharpness on the bike and just the right amount of blur on the background. A very effective daily life shot, most impressive.
Regards,
Andrew

This is very good B&W photo. Andrew is 100 % in the right.
Bravo

That looks like a difficult position to sleep in! This photo has a very interesting geometry, because everything is at an angle, or curved or twisted. That includes the man, the motorcycle, and the railing behind, as well as the whole shot, from your camera tilt. So it works together very well. Nice B/W tones, too. Regards, Ken.

Hi Julia. Well, something similiar to my last photo. They often sleep at daytime. Well done. Regards.

I'll second -macondo- this shot certainly deserves more attention. But color attracts people more than good old B&W.

Great composion with slant of the bike repeated in the slant of the image.
Well done, Yulia :)
