Hello,

Just a couple of shots from a work trip to Mumbai.

Any/all comments/tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,



Chops

I like them both, but the 2nd one is particularly engaging.  the rush and blur of the people and the single figure standing still on his mobile phone..  very well seen

The second picture is great; as Leon pointed out, I love the stillness of the guy on the cellphone as well as the clock hanging from the ceiling.  Very nice work

Yes, the second  one is a great catch...talk about a defining moment.
 :)
Reminds me of the "can you hear me now" commercials in the US.

Oooops.

Just fiddled with something and have swapped the order around.  The snoozing chap was originally the first photo.

As for the crowd photo...  Was all a bit of a fluke really, I leaned the camera against a weighing machine to remove shake, and exposed for the milling crowd - that bit I did intentionally.  Hadn't the foggiest idea that chap was there!   :P

Another one!

How's this look?

A little different from the first two.

I guess it's been said but the guy on the phone works so well...thumbs up on all of them though...all very different.

I owe you a print from your wedding...sorry been a lazy ass getting it printed...might have to resort to sending you the file but that's bad so hang oin there.

Thanks Phil.

Thanks Phil.  Looking forward to your print, but don't worry about the delay, the album still has space for yours and Leon's prints!  But I'm no snitch!  :D

Take care,


Chops
