    His time to sit back

    He lived a hard life washing clothes for a living and now it's time for him to sit back and watch the next generation do the same.

    Nicely captured but suggest it needs cropping and also requires the light reflection on his glasses to be removed as it spoils the image...

    I did not crop it tight as i felt that keeping more of the immediate surroundings would help the viewer relate with the picture better. Also, i'm not sure how i can get rid of the reflection on his glasses. I would really appreciate some advice on how i could achieve that in PS. Thanks.

    I thought you included the reflections because it shows the clothes-washing he is watching. I was wishing I can go closer to that image in his glasses if there is potential there but if there is not, then you can select the reflection and tone it down a bit so it is not too distracting. Good composition and very nice conversion. It is nice to look at your shots -- they tell stories...

    Thanks Izzie... Dhobhi Ghat is a very congested place and if i had moved to the left or right, it would have been impossible to get the right frame. So i decided to live with the reflection. Having said that, i will definitely try to tone down the reflection.
