In downtown Siam Reap, Cambodia, the annual flooding is just another part of life. You just get on with it.

Hi Peter,
This is an intriguing composition. Although the subjects are centered, the asymmetry in the background elements provide some visual interest that contributes positively to the composition. The image is very suitable for a BW presentation as well. The wedge arrangement of the road, water, and scooter riders are the final elements worth mentioning and makes the photo interesting to examine......................Jim

This picture brings back memories. The Life magazine that was delivered once a month often, very often had images that resembled this so much. I see a lot of power in this image with each motorcycle a repetition of the one in front. The city acts like a wonderful background for this strong center of interest.

I like the dynamic feel of this. I thinks there's a little too much distraction in the background, particularly the faces on top of the lead rider's helmet.

Nice street scene that looks great in B&W. I'd be tempted to crop this from the left a bit and also clone out the wires near the top left. The waves in the water add to the dynamic, here.
