Cambodian countryside......, a photo from Kandal, West

Photographer's Note

A nice and freshly painted little house in the Cambodian countryside...
I just had to wait for someone to pass by when this guy came around the corner on his bike...
Note how high the stilts are... in the rainy season water rises to floor level, sometimes even a little higher... People will need a boat to get home...

*******************************

Un petit tour dans la campagne Cambodgienne? Voilŕ une jolie petite maison, fraîchement repeinte... Il ne me restait plus qu'ŕ attendre un véhicule intéressant... mais je n'ai pas eu ŕ attendre longtemps avant de voir arriver ce monsieur...

Notez la hauteur des pilotis ... pendant la saison des pluies, l'eau monte jusqu'au niveau du sol (parfois męme un peu plus!) et les propriétaires auront besoin d'un bateau pour rentrer ŕ la maison!

Geia sou Laurent,
fascinating the saturated painted colour of the house of the Cambodian countryside.The brown of the ground and the coming man on his motorbike make the scene even more effective.I like the brilliant light and the colour management as the contrast of the colours.Well done.

Se xereto,Danos

Fresh paint in contrast to its surrounding, red soil and green vegetation, laurent.
It doe's stand out in its beauty.
The man rides a heavy-load on his scooter reminds us the whereabout area the pic. taken. Fine shot.
Bonsoire'e,
ike

Hello Laurent,
I would say that the whole picture looks freshly painted :-). The colours are very well saturated but hardly overdone. I applaud your decision to wait for somebody to come passing by. You belong to that group of photographers who understand the importance of a human presence. This man with his typically Cambodian overloaded vehicle was a good choice.
Kind regards,
Gert

Salut Laurent
Belles couleurs et jolie vue sur cette maison sur pilotis
Je pense qu'en France ils devraient songer ŕ construire de telles maisons ŕ cause des inondations répétées dans le sud
Sincčres amitiés

Hi Laurent
This is such a refreshing image! and I am blown away by how pretty and picturesque the simple & humble house is with its stunning colours and it's spotless, very welcoming and your crop encapsulates the vibrancy of this capture really well with the deep blue sky, greenery and brown tones to match. Guess they do seem to take pride in their environment, don't they? Indeed a very tidy location and a very tidy capture where the biker seems to add the final touch. I luv this, great capture Laurent. Congrats :))
Best regards

Hi Laurent!
This is not a poor house. Beautiful and eye catching. Beautiful colours and composition with the man passing carrying such a heavy burden - he really adds a lot.

Bonjour, cher Laurent,
J me posais la question portant sur les pilots, j'ai la réponse !
Merci de nous faire découvrir la campagne Cambodgienne.
Les couleurs sont superbes ainsi que le rendu général.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour Laurent,
amazing that the water rises so high in the rainy season, the stilts are very tall and it's hard to believe that the whole area we see in this photo is covered by water. Your composition is wonderful and graced with vivid and very attractive colours. You considered the perspective carefully and achieved fine balance. The motorcyclist with his load gives us an interesting daily life scene, you captured him with perfect timing. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great week,
Ourania

Beautiful house! I love the colors. The composition is complete with the man riding his motorcycle, showing amazing simple daily life. So peaceful and calm. I also like the electricity lines there, as it shows global connectivity in this rural place. Well done. Sothy
