Nice angle on that one. It reminds me of Philippines. :thumbup:

You must download this one to appreciate the impact. Graham, I feel like I'm there. I love the way the street pulls my eye through the scene. The clarity is amazing .. every detail in the market so sharp. It seemed a little busy when I first looked, but when I hit the download I was suddenly in a world of people going about their business. This is a hard shot to pull off. Lots of times it turns out looking like a person went out, closed his eyes and snapped the shutter even though he was trying to capture the whole scene. You've executed this perfectly.

and after looking a bit longer I noticed that part of the reason that it all knits together instead of seeming like a random street shot is that there are overlapping interactions between the people in the foreground. The man in the very front is shopping for something more .. I can see it in his eyes. I think he is about to say something to someone. It is the little details like this that make a photograph interesting.

Every street in Indian cities are this busy Sandra, day and night. You are never going to get a "simple" street picture in India.

So that means you couldn't go to the Taj Ma Hal when there are no people? Hope I didn't kill the spelling.

I think that it works well because it has a strong diagonal, lower left to top right that takes the viewer through the picture. Also the three people that are moving through the picture are all travelling in that direction.

Taj Mahal :-)
We arrived at 07:30 when it opens to catch the sunrise, which was ruined by the smog, it was pretty busy then and two hours later the place was rammed with visitors, mostly Indian, as it was some sort of public holiday.
