Biplab, perhaps you'll visit this photograph sometime. This I'm posting for you; let me know your views in detail if possible. For once I couldn't dare to give a title to this.

This one is absolutely wonderful. I don't care for technical details, this photo is emotionally strong. Please, would you tell me the story behind this scene? Who are these people? Are they a family? And what are they doing? Are they going somewhere? I hope nothing bad has happened, but they look worried. This time I wish you put a title ...

Sentimental work.It is delightful! Has very much liked. I congratulate!.

Excellent documentary photo. I would have raised the exposure a little, I guess. The dynamic is very good and, of course, the subject and the subjects are moving. Congrats! S.

i also think it's a bit under-exposed. but what i do like is the expressions of all the people..in each face, the eyes are engaged somewhere else. it's very interesting. makes one wonder what they are all looking at.

there is some mistakes,but composition and.wb.is excellent.congrats.

Lorenza, I'm glad you like this photograph. This was shot beside a very remote village market in India; the people are not used to seeing guys roaming with cameras, and were naturally a bit perturbed. What they didn't notice (except possibly the woman to the extreme right) is that I shot them just at this instant. The composition isn't good, partially because I had to manage the shot a little against the sunlight, but I liked the intensity of the moment. And to tell you the truth, I didn't care about the technicalities here either; the potency of that temporal slice hit me right on the nose. I'm glad you share my views on this.

 

Valerij, I'm glad you like it.

 

Sabina, you're very correct about the brightness, but it seems to me there is a gradient here, and to compensate it I'ld have to use a digital gradient filter; I didn't want to do that :))

 

Rachelle, I agree with you about the brightness, but I have the same comment as for Sabina above.

 

Mehmet, thanks for visiting. I'ld be most delighted to learn about what you think are the mistakes; I treasure you opinions and learn from them, so please do not spare any criticism. Waiting eagerly to hear from you.

very impessive composition.but,there is a little exposure problem. and in the left corner beyond man'head ,white part should be erased,maybe!,again congrats.very regards.my dear friend

Yes, my friend, I completely agree with you. No doubt there is that problem with this shot. Thank you for sharing your thought. Best wishes.

My friend ... mil gaya ... darun laglo amar ...

 

I am also interested in street photos and this composition is very nice to me ... I agree with Mehmet to do something with the white spot ... but pls use light grey tone so that the bodyline may be visible ...

 

I like the eye-sights of each and every character which are different ... all are looking in different direction with different attitude ... two are curious (father and child) ... one is looking for someone ... one is very cool ... one represents wonder ...

 

Very nice to me ... great b/w tones too ... the stepping of the child is also interesting ... nice capture ...

 

Suggesting to use the burn tool for the right-bottom corner of the snap ... and a little for the Khatia-cover too ... suggesting a caption ... "The Mirrors of Minds" ... regards ...

I love the caption... thank you for providing it! And about the white portions... I'll keep the definitions all right :) I'm glad you like it. Best wishes.

Sabar agey ki ei chhobitai open korley ... :o) ... regards ...

Yep! Ki korbo! I was hoping you'ld have a look, and so you have.

Something very classic about this... looks like a shot from the 60s to me from parts of India or perhaps Nepal.

 

Nice documentary feel to this Debasish... a departure from your earlier postings and it's a good one.

 

I really dig the kid's expression/look/body language in this.

Thanks for visiting my friend... Interesting thoughts no doubt, and I'm very happy you shared them with me.

 

Recently my friend Vikram told me that he's reminded of the little kid's expression in the closing scene of `The Bicycle Thief,' a much-appreciated Italian motion picture of the 1950's, by the expression on this kid's face. :))

This one, I guess.

 

Precisely! Thank you! But just a mere glance suffices to tell how MUCH better THIS is! After all, it's Di Sica!

 

I'm curious you returned to this shot :)

I always return to any shot I have commented to read the photographer's and other people's comments ... I love discussing photos and sharing thoughts on a photo I found interesting ;-).

Superb!Excellent capture!Congrats!

:) Thank you Cristina.

All critiques are welcome.

... and here I am again. Every time i visit your portfolio I must come back to see this one for a while. This one is a masterpiece, in my most humble opinion.

:))
