Very different scene from daily life! Is this Cambodia? I might have been tempted to have cropped a little more tightly (left and bottom) so as to get a little closer to the women.

What a scene,this is wonderful.

This shot is an unusual scene, but depicts the innocence of youth. I would have composed it differently by cropping just to the left of the raft. Where is this?

I wish we could see more of this type of photo from our international contingent...that is, scenes of local life that are markedly different from what we experience very day. Thanks for posting this. High marks.

(komposisinya masih kurang asik)

winetou said 433 days ago:

thank you all for your comments, i really appreciate it.

i agree 100% with the composition, but i decided not to cropped the picture, because i really wanna show you all the bottom part.

This was taken in Jakarta, metropolitan city, the capital of Indonesia. You can find internet super highway in there but you also can see poverty everywhere. This area is the worst area in Jakarta when the rainy seasons come, last january when there was a flood, the water in this area was about 3 meter high.

So what the heck is this?
this is a toilet, yes a floating toilet :)
and the place where the girls chatting is a place for doing a laundry, they're just finished with their laundry.

Congrats pak Gunawan..
Most people in Indonesia have a natural toilet. Same like my place Medan, Indonesia. I love the flag arrounding this image pak. Good Symbol...
