An interesting image, but the highlights are blown out. Too much glare from the road and car roofs.

Nice, but a bit too much contrast.

Really like the portrait of the rickshaw drive, wish it weren't so dark though and that there was mor perspective extending back and to the right

Comment by ubique:
This must be Calcutta, of course. Juxtaposition of the old (traditional) and the new is always interesting. This one is a reasonably prosaic composition, but the quality of the traditional subject makes up for that. His resolute progress along the road, and his interesting hand carriage, give him a real presence here. (I'm sure it's not called a rickshaw here, but I'm afraid I don't know what it is properly called). The processing is very good, too; simple and honest, and all the more effective for that. It's also an excellent approach to the challenge topic, in that you are making a point about city life in Calcutta, and not just showing us a picture of something in a city. Nice work.
