Bonsoir Daniel,
Image assez insolite et originale!
On pourrait penser qu'il doit trouver un meilleur emplacement pour réparer son vélo.
Jolie compo originale.
Amicalement.

Hello,
Really nice and funny picture Apparently the two fishers on the boat were quite estonished by this way of washing! Perhaps, did they scare he use too much water ! The view and colors are beautifull anyway.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Daniel, bikes in general are photogenic, but it's really special shot to have a bike in this context, and even in a daily life scene, that's a remarkable finding, and well captured and composed, cheers :) Daniel

Hello Daniel. I admire this shot greatly, as daily life shot and also as one that provides an interesting view of this country. I don't usually associate it with green grasses and lakes. I like your composition very much with the cyclist in the bottom right corner and the passing boat with its 'crew'. Good handling of the light. There are even some water birds (Pelicans?) behind the boat. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Daniel,
Very interesting photo for a Dutchman ;)
For sure this guy is very carefull with and proud of his bike. I like how the two men in the boat are watching him.
Well composed, thanks for sharing.

Great shot, Daniel !
Very well balanced with the boat and the bike. At a first glance I thought that it was to dark, but having observed more accuratelly I came to the conclusion that it adds a lot to the atmosphere considering that the short sky stripe seems to be very dark itself.
Saludos !

Hola Daniel.

Bonita composición con la bici y la barca. El detalle de la persona mirándote está muy bien visto.

Buena profundidad.

Un saludo, Oscar

It is a very nice compo with good colours and a good POV. Bikes, in general, must be highly desirable, considering the way the guy is servicing it. The only small minus for your picture is the tilt to the left. Well done.

Salut Daniel,
Une image très bien composée et humoristique. Qui aurait l'idée ici de laver un vélo dans une rivière ?
Tu as bien profité de l'alignement avec la barque qui passe et son passager avec la main sous le menton à l'air interrogatif.
Bien saisi avec en prime quelques pélicans dans le fond, un bonne photo où j'aurais peut être juste retouché les niveaux pour obtenir un peu de clarté.
Bonne journée à toi.
Amicalement, Christian

Hi Daniel
This is an interesting and unusual shot of daily life. Everything works well here - apart from the interesting subject, the bike is well positioned in the lower corner while the boat rows behind.

Hello,
ce vélo doit être aussi récent que le mien. :)
Pleins de détails sur la diagonale, le vélo le bateau puis les oiseaux... bien composé avec une grande profondeur.
La région semble verdoyante, a+

Excellent compo and POV. Great clarity. Interesting scene, at the same time exotic and daily-life.

Muy bonita y la verdad que muy insólita. Son cosas que pasan y has reflejado de una forma muy descriptiva el nivel de vida de estos paisanos. Sólo me hibiera gustado que hubiera un poquito más de luz. de todas formas, está muy muy bien!

Un saludo amigo,

Salut Daniel,
L'ensemble est un peu sombre, mais j'aime néanmoins cette scène où ce type lave son vélo sous le regard des passants en barque. Uen scène que l'on ne voit pas fréquemment chez nous! ;o)
Amicalement, Brigitte

Interesting shot Daniel,

Ive miised a lot of yours recently, just no time for computer anymore.....or anything really..

I like the composition, I think I fnd it a bit dark, working with shadows/highlights and curves I would brighten it up just a bit. The compo is excellent, well positioned elements across it with an unusual foreground to catch out attention.

Bonne journee,

Hola Daniel
Una foto muy original. No es cada dia que se ve alguin lavando su bicicleta al bordo de un rio tan salvaje. Que guay que el barco paso en eso momento. Ademas tienes unos pelicanos para animar el fondo.
Saludos

Hola Daniel

Como va la vida??? Espero que muy bien.

Hace dias que no entro por TE pero encontrarme con esta foto me dan ganas de seguir un rato mas.

La composicion es buenisima pero lo mejor para mi es la originalidad y casualidad que te brinda la vida. Vaya lugar mas inportuno para tener que arreglar la bicicleta, no crees?? La mirada de los hombres de la barca es genial.

Saludos
Sergio

Hola Daniel,

Interesante momento, supiste ver esta curiosa escena y capturarla correctamente con tu cámara, la posición del ciclista es perfecta, me gusta la textura del agua, hiciste bien en incluir a la barca ya que lleva gran peso en la composición, lograste un gran resultado, te felicito.

Saludos
José

Salut Daniel.
Tu vas bien ?
Elle est belle, les sujets sont vraiment bons....dommage que la lumière était pourrie...
T'attendais encore 3sec et le bateau aurait été un peu mieux placé....mais je pinaille ;)
Très joli moment, bien joué

Hi Daniel,
very interesting shot with a strong
composition and an unusual activity
shown in the lower right corner!
;-D
maybe a light tweaking of shadowed
areas would bring more details out
of them and help the whole frame
become a bit brighter (light-wise)?
I like it,
Robi
