A very intersting shot. Such a traffic and vehicles moving in both the directions without any accident!!!!!
So the mopeds are more popular in this part of the world.

That is an excellent photo with great POV, good composition and beautiful colors, but I think you have a mistake. It can't be in Texas- the land of the MANY BIG TRUCKS.

Hi Sothy,
a beautiful colourful shot. Indeed, it reminds me more to Asia than to the US.
Good perspective and nice composition.
Best wishes,
Nino

What a cute perspective that made the photo almost graphical. Well seen.

hello Sothy,

Nice photo, i like it very much. Reminds me of the traffic in Saigon 3 weeks ago, so many motorcycles... to cross the street, you just had to move and not think ;)
greetings, inn

Sothy: a simple (somehow busy) but very effective composition. Great detail and frozen motion. Great. best, c

What is going on in this photo. Everyone is going the wrong way, one guy is tiding with a ladder and one poor guy with a car. Nice job with this photo.

Imagine if this is the real motorbikes to car ratio (40:1)! It is an excellent POV. I really like it.

Hi Sothy

Interesting pov. Amazingly well spaced for that much choas :) It always makes crossing the street an adventure. Good capture of daily life. Nice colors, the red car really pops. Well done.

Nice repetition here Sothy, the colours stand out well against the single colour of the road. The car is a nice touch, probably would have been just as good as more of a minimal shot without it.

Hey Sothy,

No need to change anything. Starting with an Opps is awesome and the image itself has full of character, very Cambodia, though looks like Ho Chi Min, yet its chaotically fun to see :)

All the best!

Hi soothy. A shot with nice clarity with a very good POV from above. The red car among the array of bikes is the only odd item out -- correctly presented. Regards.

You are switching themes very often my friend, that means you have a very wide view of seeing things, i like that. This is something complete different then your little girl portrait. Like it a lot...another good one in your portfolio which is becoming better and better..!!!
Take care, Henk

Hello Sothy,

This is astonishing. I imagine they drive slowly in such circumstances, but how on earth do they navigate far without endless accidents. Perfectly focused, composed, exposed in short, superb photo!

Regards,
Bulent

This is a nice patern of colour and movement , Sothy. The red car acts as a good focus of interest to the compsoition. regards kevin

Sothy,
You caught womething very geometric with this traffic jam.
I like how you framed tightly to the motorcycles and car, beautiful,
Regards,
JB.

Hi Sothy,
Ofcourse this can't be US of A. Such disorganised traffic and I thought Kolkata was the only place where one could witness such chaos on the road. Well chosen high POV.

Beautiful and original compo, the high POV works great. I like the vivid colors and the animated character of the scene. Very good.

Hi Sothy,
The high pov let you make a very nice pattern with all those motorcycles. Besides the great visual impact, there is so much interesting details to discover!
TFS, Regards, José.

I like very much this one. very sharp, very clean (strange for a trafiic picture!). It looks like you have really frosen this moment. Suddenly the time has stopped. A great one.

happypoppeye (4819) 2007-08-17 18:22

Hah...I saw the title and than the country / state and if I remember correctly you are going to college in Texas which begged me to ask the question - "How in the heck did you get this shot in the United States, let alone Texas!!??". Than I saw the note - that sucks. I did that once and just deleted and reposted the photo (an illegal thing to do here on TE by the way). You might want to try reposting over the original, that way you keep the original and just overlay the new one over it. Still not sure if you can change the country that way though. The only other way would be to contact Adam or an administrator to try and change it???

As for the photo, nice composition. A really good eye and originality to catch this, along with your other, moped shots. Love the composition with the single red car and the lettering on the road which proves it this isn't Texas. Great color also. This one really gives me good memories of the "controlled chaos" of the streets of Cambodia. This wouldn't work in the US but in Cambodia everyone just goes. No sharp turns or sudden movements and everyone gets where their going without any accidents...

Nice work.
John

Sothy, just saw this bit of info on changing the country of a photo - #21 on this page. - not much help, but you can have it done.
