Banana Bike

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted July 23, 2014125 views2 comments

In rural Uganda where bananas grow, small farmers eek out a meager living any way they can. They use their bikes to transport and sell their bananas at a village depot where produce is collected for truck transport to larger population centers. I took this photo 17Feb2008.

Nice shot. Always interesting to see other cultures. I like this. Only thing I might try is to crop out either left or right side, taking man out of center and zooming on him more. As always though, just personal preference.

just curious, what were you doing in rural Uganda?

Love the colour combinations. I agree that moving the man off-center would be good, but not at the mercy of losing the brightly-coloured stacked stuff at the left.
