Photographer's Note
Been busy the past 2 weeks roaming around Indonesia and Malaysia, just got back home yesterday actually, anyway, I'm quite excited to share some of my photos during the recent trip. Another portrait for all my TE friends
BECAK: Becak- indonesian term for rickshaw. Becak were considered an icon of the capital city of Jakarta prior to its ban in the 1970s. Citing concerns of public order, the city government forbade them on the city's main streets. However, many becak still operate near slums throughout the city.
Well, this is more of an auto-rickshaw already, coping up with the modernization of the world. Enjoy

Hi Matt
The curious driver and your point of sharpest focus is spot on and draws my eyes to his eyes with crisp detail and great control of dof with good hint in the background as he provides the stark contrast. I like the slight sepia treatment which suggests a more soulful state of world-weariness, the result is a joy to view and worthy of attention. Excellent shot.
Well done.
Best regards

Hello Matt,
this guy has got the laid back look that all taxi drivers have,perfectly at ease in anybody's company,he`s a good subject with a decent eye contact.
I like the hint of traffic in the BG.
All the best Les.
