The beauty of this image comes from not being a post card . It has the spirit of the place, the beauty, the ugly, the necessary, the scattered people, some oddities,a few gods, balloons and some bushes for good measure.
I gave 9 but should have bumped it

Not sure if BW was the way to go here. Would love to see the color version.

Beautiful subject. The phone pole and wires distract from the image, and image seems a bit tilted. To me, it looks like you tried to include too much in your image. A shot from past the phone pole, with the top of the temple framed by the sky might be more appealing. I like your use of black & white .

I love every single detail here, the old and the new, the bikes, the car, and I wish I can read the banters... Very nice processing also
