Easy Riders?

This is actually one of my favorite accidental shots ever from my last trip to the Sichuan Province of China. Purely happenstance, I was sitting in the front seat of the vehicle with camera ready and set to ISO 400 and AV mode. I really did not notice this bike, but thought unusual when we quickly approached at 80km/hour. I snapped the image and upon review, was thrilled with the results. Of course, the little boy sitting backwards with those eyes caught my attention, but as I dug deeper into the image, I also noticed you can actually see all three faces. For extra credit...can you tell what the driver is doing? (not sure if easy to see with this smaller image).

btw I cannot tell what the driver is doing - please tell.

Yes...hard to tell on this image, but the father actually has a cigarette between his fingers just below his chin in the mirror. Just a casual family outing!

Great shot Richard - love it, full of humour!
A superb travel photograph.
