[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Any one who has visited a South Asian city will be familiar with bone rattling, smoke spewing, three wheeled vehicles, called by names such as “tuk tuks”, “auto rickshaws”, baby taxies, or three wheelers. Taken near Dhaka Airport.

I have no idea why the man on the right is standing on one leg. The Hindi text on the banner across the street in the background reads:

"Shaheed Mansur Ali Medical College Hospital"

hi chris, this is a hit! so much colourful action on the picture, so much going on there on the street; very attractive shot and i like that "mass" in it a lot;
have a nice week, jerzy

Hi Chris,
I am sorry if I offend anyone but I feel that this scene looks like taken from a circus show. I cannot help to laugh at three wheelers running, single foot standing, and the dirty road dusting.
A nice catch with nice sharpness, clear contrast, and excellent composition.

I like this street shot with the tuk tuk amongst all the other details. Tight cropped compo, interesting..

HI Chris,
Yes indeed the tuk-tuks and their rich decorations are an essential component of these big asian cities, not to mention the kamikaze driving styles of their pilots !
Good shot and full TE spirit match !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Chris,
A very colour picture, the different colours on the three wheelers, also the people with typical attire of asia make a great image of this regio, nice composition Chris!
Cheers,
John.

Hi Chris!
Interesting daily life catch fron Bangladesh!
Looks very unusual for western-european eyes.Good and colorful compo full of interesting details!

Hi Chris,
Yes this is very colorful image with so many interesting objects inside.
Two şegs standing man is lookimg at you but the other who knows to where..:))
Very sharp and well framed image Chris. Thanks for sharing...

P.S. "saheed" means, Muslim who has died for Islam at the war.

Interesting and colorful street scene in which the tuk-tuk makes a good main subject. I like how the guy right of center seems to be carefully watching the photographer, and overall the moment is quite lively. Well captured, Chris.

It's amazing to see the decoration of their vehicles and funny to see this guy on one leg. Teh picture is very sharp and with warm colors. Well seen!

The yellow of the carriage is so bright and contrasts so well with the other parts of the image, this is a delightful street scene. Well done, Chris!

Hi Chris! Very interesting shot! Here in the Philippines, we have these so-called tricycles, also as colorful such as those above. I think you've really shown us a beautiful and typical Bangladesh scene. There are so many things going on in your pic. Thanks for sharing! rgds.

A great daily life shot,Chris!

the man,maybe wanted to see a thing below of another thing like car!therefore he bended and stands with one leg for a moment:)

A fine view of this local form of transportation - I like the sight of a rickshaws as well - thanks Chris for this fine daily life shot.

I missed this one and I like it for the colorful design on this ritshaw but at the same you show a lot more of life on the street, shot in between all trafic, a frozen moment, nicely done Chris !

Hello Chris,
Nice colors. But the shadows seem a bit harsh and the composition could've been improved.
By the way, the text in the banner is in Bangla not Hindi. Hindi is not at all used in Bangladesh.
Regards. Kazi.
