Not so much opportunistic...I waited and waited for a subject!

Gareth, if you waited, were you waiting in a vehicle permanently parked?

I like the local action and neighbourhood.

The natural framing works very well. Nicely captured.

Gareth, the unbalanced composition is disturbing, but I still come back to this image... It seems it speaks to me. That's the more important. Better, it's the only thing really important in photography.

David,
No the car was on the move (on some very bumpy and winding roads). Most of the shots I took were of scenery, but I wanted to catch on of the many overloaded scooters in action!

Gerald,
Yes, the composition is odd, obviously due to the amount of almost black area (which is in fact the roof of the car). I did play briefly with cropping it but I din't like it as much. Its not eactly the greatest photograph technically so I think it needs all the help it can get to raise it from being a bad capture, and I think the composition does that.

Gareth,

I think it's a really great spot.
You get something we commented in the old forum:
To be conscious of the photographer's presence and, at the time, turning the spectator of the picture into a spectator of the scene.

Marc

PS: I remember Bali with thousands of motorcycles, at the time. To drive there were a very special experience :-)

Marc, thanks for the comments. As I said before its not the best technically but it reminds me a lot of my experience in Bali and is great from that point of view.
