Aaaah, the complement to the strings image. Nicely captured, looks like a spec of dust on the third image.

Nice images, I like the second one the best.

Thanks John for your comment. It was sun set time. The yellowish part may be because of that.

Thanks Dave .

The first one was a good idea which would have worked well if you had managed to get all the figures with a sharp edged outline. That is very tricky to do though.

The second works well, although if you had managed to get a little more of the left hand child's face it would have been perfect.

The third image is excellent. Maybe he is looking a fraction too much to the side but his gaze leads directly to his kite in the sky so I don't have any real problems with this angle. I would clean up those small areas in the sky which are probably other kites but seem a little bit distracting.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, those small things are kites. I thought of removing them, but then i left them. I also found them like distraction.... like spot on image.

I thought it was my monitor... +1 to Geoff and Dave A -- I like #2 better too.

A tricky set of shots, Tejal. The people are so large and the kites so small, that the context is not obvious at first glance.

The first shot with the silhouette is the strongest image, but the noise in the sky is quite noticeable, even at the size you have posted. There seem to be a few artifacts too; the face of the woman in the right, for instance. I suspect that trimming some of the black on the bottom of the shot might strengthen it too. There is a lot of black there and it really doesn't add to the image, I suspect.

The second shot is a bit strange; the "amputated" feet of the boys is striking and I find that there is simply too much negative space in the image, especially on the right. I like negative space, but it has to work, and I'm not sure that it does here.

The third shot is not working all that well for me either. You've worked to keep the kite in the shot, but it's contribution to the image is negligible. Again, too much negative space, I think.

Thanks for the feedback. I should try to process the 1st one again considering your suggestions.
