Hi Vikram. I think you have a good idea behind this shot; the contrast of the smoking woman vs. the well lit store behind her has lots of possibilities. I think though that you were in the wrong place when you took this shot. Getting closer, so that the woman is larger in the photo, would have made a world of difference for me on this one. Also, it might have given more even lighting, as you wouldn't have had to deal with the dark area on the right and at the bottom too. I am afraid that the woman on the cell phone isn't quite obvious enough to me, and as such she isn't really adding to the scene IMO. Colors are very nice.

hey vikram,
both your photographs are different, non-conforming to the ones that one would expect on debut...so i am very much interested.
I am not much of a technically strong photo enthusiast, but in this one i feel there is too much of empty space all around. something that makes my eyes wander off but i do not see anything interesting there to hold my attention.
having said that, i like the perfection with which you've handled the light. and so is the thought behind the photograph.
looking forward...
best,
durba

Unlike Dubsie I actually like the emptiness around the two women. It adds to your theme of independence. Even if they are alone in the world they ae confident and self-sufficent. One smoking and the other about to press her cell phone against her ear reinforces the mood.

Best regards
Prantik

Hey Vikram,

Strong one..
I suggest you to think more on composition & theme than to go for Just blind SNAP SHOTS.
Do you see what I mean???

It is something..I feel that ..

A Power of woman Walking away from the BODY of woman..
What Darren saying is 10001% correct.
-Regards,

Welcome to TE, Vikram.
Very interesting first three uploads. I like how you frame your subjects, the distribution of objects over the frame is pleasant and attractive.

In this particular case I wonder how the frame would look if you were to crop out the top third...
