Ciao Caleb
Una bella foto che esprime bene uno spaccato di quotidianetà in un luogo dove il rapporto con il sociale è davvero complesso! Simbolico il personaggio che si rifuggia dentro una nicchia come a staccarsi dalla vita sociale, mentre nella strada piove e la vita sembra procedere blandamente! Mi piace molto anche la composizione ed il croma.
Saluti, Nino.

Caleb, I don't have the time to leave a proper critique right now, but I wanted to make sure I don't forget commenting on that one because it's so good. This is as people and daily life as it gets. Obviously, the man trying to sleep in the corner is fantastic, he's the anchor in the compo. But then, the life in the street comes and all this water, moist, humidity...
the texture on the wall...
This is one of my fave from you.
Marc

You sure bring these place and these people alive with such finesse and such splendid control Caleb. I love this scene and the way you have composed it with such perfection

This is really good Caleb, just tryign to snath a few winks of sleep in the dry while the city goes about its business in the split frame.
Nice work!!

Hi caleb
missed this one!
In french I'd say "point et contrepoint"
Here a sleeping one and another walking, but ever and ever the attention returns to the sleeping one
well done!
Best to you

Hi Caleb,
What a great capture, with the stillness of the man sleeping and keeping dry (also his colouring matches his direct surrounding), compared to the busier other section with people evading the rain whilst walking under their umbrellas, also busier with more details in that section. Once again the division of your scene is great and very well seen.
Regards
Wanda

As Mumbai is getting inundated by incessant rains, here's a monsoon picture with a difference! Like how the image is split in two, but its the right side of the image where the man's taking a small nap (I presume) which takes the cake! Superb!
