I like the framing where the 1/3 rule is perfectly applied. the contrast of the colors is great

Excellent funny composition . It is almost as you desaturated the background with th e vivrant colours on the people only. Well seen and well executed.

ahhhh, that is a very good one and a nice effort to this lady to carry her man !
coloured and very well composed with the position of the bike in front of the empty space.
I like it

This is a sight that you don't often see in India, a man enjoying the ride while the woman does the pedalling.
You captured great expressions on their faces, and composed the shot well. It has a pleasing dynamism, with plenty of space in the frame for the cyclists to move into.
The only thing that lets it down slightly is the massively over-exposed background.
Never mind, I like it.
Cheers,
Ben

It makes me smile ... so it must be good. I like that she is the driver and him sitting behind her. And I really like the yellow of her dress with the yellow umbrella.
Nice scene,
Nino

Classically composed. Offcenter with plenty of empty space, you have motion into a frame instead of out of it, the line draws my eye across the frame. Too bad the dog isnt better seperated from the couple, that was a bit of bad luck. Otherwise quite good stuff.

Interesting shot, i like the brightness of the colours in an otherwise drab scene, and your placement of the bike at far left is good.

A very nice compo, Rajeev spoiled a tiny bit by oversaturation of the colors (RED and YELLOW!) If those were toned down a notch or two this would be perfect.

hello brother,

What to tell about this pic...??? can u suggest me..?? please can u suggest me..?? what do u think of it yrself..???

I would call it the confluence of three minds..The man sitting behind,the wife riding the cycle and you.

"I am taking my husband home
I am happy that i am not alone
I have some one who believes in me
and gives me the liberty to take his responsibility
and i thank you my dear friend
for recognising this trend
India is rising
Indian woman is rising..!!!"

THATS WHAT THIS WOMAN IS TELLING YOU...

GREAT GREAT SHOT..!!!!! CANT EXPLAIN THE DEPTH OF THIS PIC BEING AN INDIAN...THANKS FOR THIS BRO

Dear, dear brother...

I've obviously been away too long, and it's just been a day or two. This is genius, one of the finest works you've put forth. The composition is amazing as the couple come pedaling into the frame with the dog bowing down behind to mark the royal passage. The colors are incredible with the umbrella such a unique touch. But...but, the smiles, I immediately felt shot through with good feelings and happiness. A perfect contrast to the title and face of your previous post; which I haven't had a chance to comment on as of yet.
brother, to my favorites.
Your friend, you've made my day.
Chris.

Hi Rajeev,
Nice shot of the couple.You have captured a typical Indian scene.I don't know why but this shot reminds me the song :- JO DUKH SE GHABRA JAYE WOH NAHIN HIND KI NARI (film Jai Santoshi Maa).The colour of the saree and umberlla is creating magic to the shot.Thanks for sharing.

Hello Rajeev
It's good, but I think the sky is to white it makes the picture difficult to look at. However the framing is perfect, I like those 2 persons on the bike.

Rajeev,

I like how you framed this shot and how you left a lot of room to the front of the subjects. Good rules of third technique, great composition and pov. I feel the picture is a little too bright but it is still a good daily life capture.

• Angshu (21770)
• [2006-11-02 7:11]

Hello Rajeev
As a photograph, excellent, As a mood that it portrays - excellent. Technical aspects apart this is a gem of a shot. Love the placement of the subject in strong colours..pity about the dog's position..a little further off would have been great..but nothing you could do about that!
Regards
Angshuman
PS : Wondering about the people..they do look from the parts of India where I stay!

Great shot. Full of life and dynamism. The lady and her companion really love the ride as well as your photography. The more visibility of the dog surely gives a very good perspective.
Well done.

This is a perfect shot. The subject is placed at the right and suitable angle. The bikers look so colorful. ALthough the background is a little over exposed, but it is pleasant in this situation. Good work Rajeev. Sothy

Namaste Rajeev. A joyful picture in terms of colour and personalities.great idea to place them at the edge so that the road becomes also something to be noticed. In a sense it becomes the silvery grey background on which these brightly clad people become the stars. Well done. Regards. Klaudio.

Congratulations my friend.

Excellent composition of this interesting daily life scene. The bright colours of the foreground subjects contrast sharply with the hazy background.
