Photography on Streets C&C Welcome

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

I tried to capture the moment where I really liked the way these people on the left were clicking the street in New Delhi, India.

I tried to use the arrow on the road to point towards the person in motion and also creating a opposite dynamic balance with the person going on the right.

Thank You

I think that is a very, very good image, Raj.

You have obviously planned it very well and have achieved your objective. It is a very strong composition. In making it a strongly contrasting image with pronounced blacks and whites, you have added in energy and dynamism to the picture. My compliments.

I am impressed that you achieved such clarity of the people standing to the side and taking pictures at such a slow shutter speed. Can I ask what you were focusing on? At f18 you will have a large depth of field of course which in fact you do. I like your photo very much

Thanks a lot for your valuable review and your kind words sir. M planning to send this image to some contest. Is it worth to send? no elements removed, no cropping done.

thanks for the review and appreciation. it is just a simple observation, i knew these people were taking images and when some taking images they will not move. I know my lens min. focus distance is 1 feet. kept distance of the lens from the ground approx 1 feet and when we are focusing on a place ... we have 1/3 front and rest 2/3 in the background. I was at 12mm means i will get large dof. I have focus peaking in my Sony A57. I took advantage of technology with manual focus and was able to focus almost everything.
