[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Those young men are illegal passengers of an electric train departing from Beos Trainstation at Jakarta. The train moves in high velocity, but they looks comfortable enough though angel of death may come and get them instantly. I just hope they will be save...

This sight being quite common in India I can well feel the sense of helplessness you get watching these guys risking their lives. The picture has ominious feel about it - futher enahanced by the movement of figures at the top. Well done.

they are still a life? realy stupids, but pic very good.

This shot is very compelling. The high contrast and sillhouette of the passengers accentuates the action and risk involved. The sunlight through the clouds suggests a feeling of hope, however. Well seen.

That an impressive picture, at first I saw it so beautiful, the high contrast, the color and the composition dynamic and giving a maximum place for the black but still the sun is there. I like it a lot! Then I read the note and feel so sad. Life is so beautiful and hard. I think we are all the time at risk of losing the one we love and ourself too. So why are we always stupid enough to make the risk higher? Hope life win...

This is a very strong shot with a real story behind it. I love this way of shooting without showing, very good Hanggan.

Fantastic shot...hardly unreal!
How do you take it?
Bravo!
Edie

Hanggan, I have to say this photo is... almost dramatic by the use of such heavy colours and the shades and shapes of everything... just marvelous.

The note adds extra emphasis to the shot, giving it that tell-tale heart, just wonderful work. Really... hmmm what's the word, well really, the whole piece of work, note and all just gives off a caustic sensation!

Wonderul.

Biance.

FANTASTIC IMAGE!!!
Congratulations! Well done.
best regards, Daniel
