Wonderfull colourfull scene!

I like the 3 yellows in the scene. I would try cropping to isolate the right side of the shot. Either along the yellow through the seller's shoulder or just to the left of her elbow. I think the composition would be much stronger and interesting without the guy on the left.

I think I'd crop it at the point where the yellow wall meets the white. Turn it into a square image. Then you could rename it "The Yellowest Image Anywhere!" Great capture of a moment in life.

This is a great scene, and you have captured each of the three subjects in interesting, active poses. I'd repeat others' advice to crop out the man on the left, cutting where white meets gray on the wall. I love how the two women are interacting with each other without eye contact. Also, the standing woman is in a striking pose--a composition in itself.

Great colors, I especially like how the different shades of yellow (flowers, clothing, wall) and pink (shirt, flowers, cloth) play off one another.

Very nice combination of bright colours. I kept looking from the yellows to the pinks. Quite impressive shot!

This is another great shot. I love how you managed to show all these colors and the people together...very well done. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Nice!

I like this because of three reasons.
First: the people create a nice triangle that the flower woman is the top of it.
Second: I like the interaction of the colors, the bright yellow of the Sari, the wall and the flowers, with the reds and the gray wall.
Third: There is no event here, this is a great documentation of daily life in India, no one posed for you, no special event is going around, just a holly place with a small vendor in front of it. This picture are what 99.9% of the Indians experience everyday, so it's a much more authentic documentation than the 30 inchese nail man we see in so many pictures.
Great work.
