That is an incredibly well composed shot Sid.
I think the only way to express how I'm favorably impressed with is to click that fav box. I will say no more.

Great shot.

Superb composition resulting in a moving experience for the viewer, S. Clearly you are thinking about your photography all the time and it shows. The man's face on the left almost floating into the frame is key. Very exciting stuff...

believe me, this one is simply stunning. maybe due to the composition and the gainy nature of the pic, it takes a lot of difference with itself. fantastic POV.
Pity that not many people can feel the importance of this event, and the amount of history it carries with, specially if people have an access to "Hutom Pechar Noksha" which starts off with the the description of Charak more than 100 yrs ago in Kolkata.
Cheers'

A magnificient image Siddhartha. Hard to believe how good it is. Even without the man on the left and the bird the picture would have been outstanding. The addition of them takes it to the next level.
It's your best upload so far, IMO.

Hi sid,

A dramatic setting! Wonderful pov! I like those low angle shots very much. Inclusion of the man's face is the most effective part of all. Wonderful!

Hi Siddhartha, I love the composition which gives many interesting subjects, the bird's touch is great as well... I am just a little bit concerned about the shadows here, the man's face and the sky look a little to dark for me... But in any case a wonderful creative shot, very inspiring... Will go in my favs...
