Bangkok, Thailand, 13. April. 2008
Celebration of Songkran (Thai new year) on the streets of Bangkok.
Songkran Festival, April 12-15, is the traditional Thai New Year. This
is the time for Thais to pay homage to Buddha images, clean their
houses, and sprinkle water on their elders in a show of respect.
Anyone who ventures out on the streets is likely to get a thorough
dousing of water, all in good fun, but also quite welcome at the peak
of the hot season.

Good action shot with beautiful backlight! How your D3 liked the Sonkran? Were you not soaked yourself ;-)

Light is managed nicely, I like the way the colors come off, processed or not. So many shots like this, but yours is much less forgettable. Great that the water is really the main subject, thanks to the light and freezing shutter speed.
