Yes, wonderful street shot with two dominant complementary colors ,yellow and blue, we can almost forget some red areas here and there.

Great foreground with the taximan looking at you, without him anchoring the reader's view, your scene would have been too quickly read.

I like this one Arindam, it's a great vignette of life on the streets of Calcutta, and I like the rather surprised expression on the face of the taxi driver.
It's a small point, but I would have preferred it if the whole of wheel of the taxi was visible in the frame.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Good one, Arindam - superb saturated street shot - the cabbie turning back to look at you is the cherry on the cake.
You are going from strength to strength my friend,

Hi Arindam,

Great angle you have chosen here. Love how we can see the trafic from different directions. So many interesting local details to look at.

Well captured!

Hi Arindam,

For a second, I was reminded of Claude's picture of the chap looking back in the monsoon rain (I love that picture!).

This is really nice too, and has a completely different appeal. Without my glasses, I would almosty think this was New York when looking at the thumbnail. Upon closer inspection, it has much more appeal for me than anything taken in New York...

Taxi driver is looking at you..
It is really bold approach & and it is just fine to have eye contact in some occassions..but of course ..Until his is not conscious & preparing himself for the photo pose..
Icon of Calcutta that yellow taxis & very dominant color in this frame..
As mentioned by luko blue color is also popping up frequently.
I cannot say this as chaos but a candid scene of Indian street..

I never visited culcutta..but now I am strongly willing to visit Calcutta...
Did he ask you..why you are shooting Him too!!!!]
Because I had fight with couple of vendors in Mumbai..for shooting street scene & they assumed that I am press reporter..
:D

Super compo of calcutta streets. Just seeing that and I want to be there. You catch a nice moment with great technical quality.

Well done.
