Photographer's Note
Two For The Road : This is the first time I am trying my hands on collage inspired by my friend Pavle (Pajaran),who has a penchant for collage making.In this image you can see a couple of tri-wheeler van riders,the first one is riding his vehicle without any load and the second one is loaded.This is a common sight on the roads of Calcutta especially in the market area of Burra-Bazaar,where goods are being taken mainly from warehouses to retail shops.
I dedicate this image to Pavle Randjelovic from Cuprija,Serbia.

Hello, Farhat,
Good compilation of the street photos from Calcutta. I am surprised but I did not saw the rickshaws in Goa or Mumbai... But I do remember tuk-tuks everywhere.
Anyway, good contribution to the transportation theme.
Best wishes,
Serghei

Dobar dan.
Drago mi je da sam vam dao ideju, hvala na posvecenoj lepoj fotografiji.
Dobar trenutak snimka i kontrast, lepo pokazane trokolice sa vozacima.
Dobar rad, lepo uhvacen trenutak, lepe boje.
Ljudi se snalaze i zaradjuju za zivot, torkolica je deo jednog naroda i obicaja.
Imajte lep i uspesan dan, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Hello Farhat,
I must admit, personally, I like to see just one photograph in a post, with the second as a w/s. It is difficult to critique two shots for your critique will not apply to both shots.
The l/h shot is well composed with fine details of this very environmentally-friendly, type of transport. We have good leads and I can't help feeling that the figure in the b/g desperately needs the services of the cyclist!
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Dear Farhat,
A simple daily life pic of Indian roads. Poor ricksaw pullers have to work hard to earn for their family.
nice capture.

Bonjour Farhat,
On dirait que c'est le changement de la garde. Un vieux pour un jeune pour faire le même travail difficile dans le trafic et la pollution. Un très beau diptyque.
Amicalement

Hello Farhat,
Nicely combined the two photos, taken on the same subject.
Both are well in sharpness, inspite the moving objects. Street view might had been a bit wider, yet - not a grand issue.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Nice idea to show a double scene with two rickshaw drivers at the same place. It shows how often we can see this means of transport in India. Very well caught

Hello Farhat,
A very tough job in climatically not the easiest conditions. The expansion of the car fleet in Indian cities also seems to be a fact and very important to take into account for these vulnerable road users.
Interesting daily life-shots from Calcutta.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Farhat
Nicely done collage, these two imges fit together very comfortably, and look very well presented like this. Its a fascinating vehicle, not one I see in my daily life. I can understand its popularity too, it looks like an excellent tool for work. Both under perfect light to illuminate your subjects perfectly!
Best wishes

Hello Farhat,
both portraits in action are interesting and you combined them nicely. Both pictures are deep and clear and include a detailed description of the street behind the riders. You have made the impact of your collage even stronger by opting for the exactly the same angle of capture. Also it's intriguing to see that the two colleagues have distinctive personal styles but exactly the same expression. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hi
Transportation for passengers and cargo, usually in East Asia, the bike can be seen
I wish instead of cars, bikes were popular
Beautiful life in India
Good luck

Hi Farhat,
I like this collage showing two different riders, one with full load other with empty cargo, may be looking for customers. Both in excellent light and superb clarity.
Your photos remind me to my next trip to your par of the world, this time with my Chennai friends to Nepal in October.
Very well done.
Greetings,
Miro

Howdy Farhat,
Interesting double tri cycles with trim pedalists navigating Calcutta's busy streets.
We have an innovative auto manufacturer who has created a three wheel and three cylinder auto the Elio which will be sold next year with an 80 miles per galloon rating. Ironically it will be built in the defunct Hummer factory.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,
Ray

Hi Farhat,
A nice dedication to Pavle and his tradition of collages. This is a fun side-by-side comparison of the two bikers, and a clever title to match. :) Great to see an every day aspect of the local customs and culture. I only see similar scenes around ballparks that shuttle fans to/from their parked cars!? Love seeing the different side of life in a place far away from my own. Sharp, bright and very pleasantly presented. Enjoy the new day. Take good care.
Friendly wishes,
Jason

Greetings Farhat,
It's a very successful collage. Judging by the blue sign in the background, I see that you've moved about about 20 m, but scaled the tricycle vans to be about the same. The precise angles of the wheels and the stern expressions of the drivers reveals the similarities. I too tried a collage, same scene but different times of the day in a shot in Stockholm.
Warm regards,
Bulent

Hi Farhat
I would travel to India for photos and scenes just like these, we don't have anything like this here in Canada.
Its fun to view the bg too, we can see some modern cars and a mix of older cars from decades ago
nice pic
cheers

Hello Farhat,
A very nice collage of these nonmotorized vans. It is interesting that the ones I used to see in Turkey were the opposite, the two wheeled cargo compartment was in the front and the rear wheel was single. The whole cargo compartment turned to steer the contraption.

Hi Farhat,
Interesting contrast of two riksha drivers, one sitting and without any load and the second overloaded and therefore standing to drive more efficiently. Not easy job, at all.
I think this collage technique is useful when we want e.g. to make comparisons, show differences.
best regards
emilia
