Hi all,
I just recently entered the world of DSLR. I took a few photographs capturing the street life in India. Would love to hear feedback from you all.

A few things I attempted (or to be honest, fell into place automatically :blushing:): The two blurred images in the background are part of the story. The laborer doing hard manual work while the supervisor stands behind overseeing the work. The main subject - the man with a royal moustache - has been kept at the right thirds of the frame. I think I should have overexposed the image by half-a-stop of so; I think the main subject appears too dark. Should I do some fill lighting or selective tonal adjustment in PP?

Here too, the props in the background add to the story - I feel it gives a sense of the livelihood of the two main subjects. Both the subjects were looking at a particular subject of interest which I have deliberately left out. Also, since the low evening light projected stark shadows, and the whole scene depicts an almost bygone era by modern living standards, I felt B&W will do justice. I used 'de-saturate' in PP to achieve B&W. Should I be doing more selective tone conversion perhaps? The faces of the main subjects are dark?
Would love to hear C&C
