Photographer’s Note
Smoothly running chaos - Indian Railways - a travel experience in its own right - and the largest single employer in the world. A morning photograph from the frenetic hive that is Old Delhi station...

Hi Caleb,
I like the a nice expression in everyone. They express a long wait in their face. The man, standing on the platform is as if obstructing them to get down. It happens for every crowdy IR. Its a good POV of the whole train, bisecting diagonally the frame.

Hello Caleb,
This is an excellent documentary photo of yours with excellent composition and vivid colors. I like the way that this photo captured the scene realistically without the touristy travel shot look. The stare from the man in the foreground is chilling. I like it!

This is good, very very good. Don't tell me you managed to get on that train, especially with your 20D and 10-22. This is a really engaging composition, much different from your latest uploads. You take us right into the rushing crowd, and in a fraction of a second we will be floating in the sea of humanity.

Hello caleb, this is a beautiful shot of how the Indian rail works but somehow I am just hating this boy in the maroon Tshirt in the frame..He looks like is obstraucting the main part of this shot..Just think about the shot without him...it would have been amazing..!!
But still this one is a great work from you.>!!
Regards,
