Nice technique of reducing the depth by fog. You may want to use the flash compensation in order to illuminate the riksaw driver's face.

The fog makes a lot here by setting the main subject and a bit of foreground clear. I just wish you had cropped the left side to leave out the three guys.

Hi Ramesh, like the effect you have created here by using the fog. Makes the rickshaw puller look like he is coming from a different world out of the foginess.

Hello Ramesh,
You capture the atmosphere well, I can sense the chilly morning! Good piece of photo journalism, maybe a slightly different crop could improve the compositional qualities? I made a quick workshop to show one possible way...

Hi Ramesh. This is very dramatic work and a perfectly timed shot. I love the expression on the rickshaw driver and the fog adds all sorts of mystery to the depth. Excellent shot Ramesh!

What a great capture of feeling! I can sense the chill in this guy. Absolutely fantastic catch. The subject and the foggy support works SO well.

Wonderful mood. The atmosphere looks so brilliant. Surely it gives the feeling of chilly weather. The obscured persons at the further end gives a wonderful perspective and overall this is a great daily life shot.

Hi Ramesh,

Nice capture of daily life from chandigarh, a common scene in most parts of north and east India...rickshaw puller in good mood..in spite of bitter cold...guy see the kind of protective cloths he is wearing that he can hardly afford..unlike in west..

And finally great composition...

Cheers Kyzer
