Ankit, here are my comments:
#1 – The plant is obviously colorful, but it is underexposed and the colors don’t show. The bright areas to the left pull away the eye, which is initially attracted to the sharp definition of the plan, but there is no detail there, so there is a visual conflict between the two. The background is out-of-focus enough that we can tell that it’s some kind of house or structure, but we can’t be for sure. The towers don’t add to the image.
The question I have is where do we focus our attention? If it’s the appearance of the plant, then it needs to be more visible. If there is a connection between the plant and the background, then we need to see the connection and feel it. As it is, there is little to link the two.
#2 – The movement that Anna has started is powerful and is inspiring in terms of the number of people that it has managed to attract, and in terms of the promise of reducing the corruption that makes life in India harder than it has to be. Yet, that power is not really conveyed in the image. We can’t be sure if the person reading the newspaper is focusing on the main story, or on a cross-word puzzle. The hand breaks up the sharp parts of the image and does not support visually the link between the person and the newspaper story. I know it is difficult, but as a photographer, you need to lay out the clues for your viewers to get them to read the story that you see. As an observation, it helps us, the viewers, to make a connection to a person in an image if we can see their eyes. Here, his eyes are hidden by the frame of his glasses. Little details, but they all add up.
#3 – I saw the blue, and was wondering what the connection was between that color and the buildings in the foreground. Again, the difference in tone (the foreground is almost a silhouette) between foreground and background presents a visual conflict. We see the massiveness of the foreground,but we see few details. We see the colorfulness of the background, and it’s central position in the frame, but its so … very small. Now one angle that could have worked was if the sky was the same color as the buildings – then you would have had reinforcing elements.
