I realy like pics like this Koh...
showing people in their "life".
Great atmosphere here. It must have been quite a hot day and I can imagine falling asleep then.
The B/W convertion adds to the atmosphere...

Very nice!
Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Bk,

Often when I look at your photos of people... you just keep reminding me what is a real life out there... a sad scene... a reality and you have captured them so well with all their expression and emotion. Honestly I think you should open your gallery in Singapore with all these people shots that you took, they are fantastic but sad in reality, people have to see it and feel it and do something about it. I tried to take photos like that before, but I can't... cos I am just too emotional... might have to train myself more to do that... cos these are great photos that you took.

Keep clicking my dear...

I love shots like this Koh! People unaware of the camera! Caught in their natural state of being! The BW works great here.
