I shot this in Kerala, India which is my home place. I was on a morning walk to find any good photo opportunities and when I was about to wind up, this guy walked past me. I guess, he was going to work. This is the traditional costume of males in Kerala. Incidentally, I was also having a similar attire.

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the leading lines in the image are fantastic, leading the eye into the frame, and straight to the subject

color: I really like the subdued colors, they give such a feeling of early morning, going early to work to get a job done

contrast: the softer contrast also adds to the early morning nostalgia, just quiet and calm

focus
: focus is perfect on the subject, crisp and sharp

depth of field:
I usually push for decreased DOF, but here I like how much is in focus. It brings so much more into context and makes you look longer to see all the little things in the frame.

lighting:
Breathtaking morning light, very well preserved

other:
overall, I was wishing this would score higher as well, i saw this during voting (though didn't vote myself) and this was one of my favorites. It seems others agree as well. Sometimes, DPC just works that way i guess.
Don't be put down by the score, keep up this wonderful photography. I hope to see more of your work soon!

Thanks guys.. especially Rudy and Simone :) .. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the score, but WTH, its comments like these and creating a satisfying image that really matter.

IMO a real travesty with the score. I think this was an exceptional image and worthy of a front page placement. A job well done!

I was hoping that this would have finished higher. I love the light and the curves in the path.

I like the fog...could the levels have made the colors a little less dull?

This really has a feel to it. Stark but not stark. Lonely but not lonely.

Congratulations on a very unique and beautiful image. My choice for the Blue. The subtle tones really enhance the overall presentation. Nicely done!
