Chance to catch this scene while mountain biking. Its been dusky but this man keeps on pedaling to peddle his bamboo bench.

I like this Czaldy - it's an amusing shot, and I like the way you managed the shallow depth of field. The whole image is a bit soft, but it doesn't matter too much.
I think I'd have preferred it if you'd shifted the framing to the left, so that he was less central in the frame and showing more of the view down the long straight road.

Cheers,
Ben

Very funny view of bicyclist along the railway.Good composition, I think there is slightly hand shake effect due to long exposure.

Wonderful capture here Czaldy. I don't mind the softness that much. Upon seeing your photo, I instantly felt longing for life in the province.

Hello Czaldy! A "only in the Philippines" shot! Love the lighting and the subject, and the message it conveys! I agree with Ben, a little bit of shift to the left to show more of the road and the other vehicles would be better. rgds.

Great title, Czaldy, and wonderful daily life and humour shot. It's a little soft, but suits the weather and the gentle atmosphere. Very simple but nice, and I don't think we need to see more of the road; it's OK like it is.
Regards,
Andrew

Czaldy, I like the subdued colors. Though lacking in sharpness, the photo still conveys the mood. I would not like to see more of the road; it would just be a boring patch of gray, and the vehicles would be a distraction. I wonder, did he get to sell the bench that same day?
