I think #2 is my favorite as well, Raj. Nicely done.

I also really like 4 and 5. #4 looks like he's walking on water!

Well, I guess I found Jesus!
I also loved #2, the old shawls and the door make the pic IMO. Thanks Sharon!

Nice set Raj...I see an younger Raj #1...not necessarily the older one.......

 

[JacaRanda]

#3 for me but very nice set!

Nice set. The smile alone in #4 sells it for me.

I like them all Raj especially the first three but they all invite me to take my time and peruse the image. Of course some must be "flooded" street shots...

Call them what you will - they're wonderful. Well done.

The only one I might think about some adjustment is the B&W, seems like the foam should be whiter etc. I found that if I adjust for something like a reflection or highlight (I'm thinking of the sun in the background) being the whitest white, then the whole thing's off. Looks like it might have been tricky lighting conditions with the overcast sky and choppy water.

Your photos capture the feeling of the moment so well. I also like the balance of shapes and colors in the compositions. I noticed in #2 how small the girl seems, that door seems so big... makes it seem like she's engrossed in what she's studying in her own little world. Very effective.

Wonderful Raj! Especially 1 through 4. But #1 and 2 just keep you looking and wanting to know more about them, I like it!

Thanks, that kid actually does look a lot like I used to when I was a kid!

#3 for me but very nice set!

Thanks Jaca, why #3 though? I'm curious as you're the only one who said that.

Yeah, that guys had an infectious smile!

Yeah, let's just call them that! Thanks Donde, really appreciate it!

Thanks Sharon, always a pleasure to read your comments! I was thinking the same about #2, also loved the contrasting yellow and brown between her clothes and the door. I will play around with the B&W one to see if I can do something about it, thanks for your critique again!

Very nice...

Thanks Scooter, my feelings exactly!

Thanks Sashbar!

 "Thanks Jaca, why #3 though? I'm curious as you're the only one who said that."

I like how it's not as neat as #2, squares and rectangles. The little girl looks very mature and very dedicated to what she is doing, despite things not being so neat around her. I see a young business woman.
