Rajat,

As someone who lives in New York, I can only dream of a rush hour like that.

The composition gives the picture an idea of movement and the incomplete boat provides a sense of anticipation. The top of the boat, some of the faces, feet, and clothing on the passengers, and areas of the riverbank are too bright and would benefit from some burning in. The contrast seems off but that might be due to my uncalibrated monitor. I'm guessing this is a desaturated color photo. If so, it might have been better to leave it in color.

Good work,

Raul

The color version is a better photograph. The same composition comments apply as with the previous version. The details that were washed out in the b&w version are now visible, the pattern on the roof of the boat for example. Though green is the dominant color in the photo, it doesn't do so in a way that makes it boring thanks to the different shades provided by nature. The lighter color of the boat stands out and draws the eye to it and then the brighter colors of the passengers' clothing pull the viewer deeper into the image.

Nice job,

Raul
