Hello Subhayan. I like this shot, especially the viewpoint which gives us perspective, and the sense of movement in this shot. It is a pity you did not include the man's front foot, by swinging the camera down just a little bit. But it is a good daily life shot. Very pleasing.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Subhayan,

This is a good post - truely a TE spirited shot. The light was awesome. But there are few points here, which I would like to mention-
firstly, the cropping of the feet of the man doesnot help this composition at all.

Secondly, the subjects can be easily placed in a little bit distance away from where you were shooting. Then the cropping of the feet also would not happen (I suppose the cropping was unintentional). They were too close to you. Say, for example, if they were somewhere between their present position and the bending of the road in the back, then it would be ideal.

I think you were out solely for a photo-hunt in the village. In that case some portraits in this beautiful light would be very beautiful. Did you take any portrait of them too? If yes, then post them also! :)

best wishes,

Sayan

A very good shot. A part of the daily life of the village people is coming to life through this photo.

Subhayan, i like this shot. the low angle light of the morning looks nice. you might have missed the man's toe because of late shutter release... choosing the frame a little down could have helped also in getting a slightly better sky.
TFS, Arnab
