A very attractive scene, Sabyasachi, with really a lot happening--it takes time to look it over and see it all. The detail is easy to see because you managed the tones really well. Nice even light throughout the scene. The only thing missing is something in the close foreground to be the main focus of interest. Regards, Ken.

Sabya- you posted after a long time. I love this one- magical shot, so Indian. I'm amazed at the sharpness you've achieved here- first the view is so deep and above that I can see till the end. B&W was supposed to be the medium for this.

A little wish though- some negative space in front could be dropped to emphasize upon the happenings at the far end of street.

Hi Sabya,

Thats a very nice frame with a lot of action happening. As a suggestion, you could try some shots form a different level other than eye-level because that is the most common point of view we have. Try a few low knee-level shots or from above the head. Adds a lot of dynamism to the image. Also, you could try and keep some of the human elements closer to the camera. Here, for example, the bathing man or the shoe store people could have been kept closer to the camera by moving a little ahead. But of course, that would be a different composition.

Anyway, great going and I hope you shoot and share a lot more pics.

I have done a workshop of this image where i have boosted the contrast and added a sepia tone.. Hope you like it :)
