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?

This image was clicked in Pushkar. I also have a shot where this guy was looking into the camera but i had choosen this shot because lack of eye contact which may drive viewer's eye to see this beauty of shell and flowers.

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, frame, crops and processing.

Thank You

PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended)

Very expressive capture, I like the use of WA.

Raj - I have mixed feelings regarding this image. I do like the shot very much, but...

I do like the distortion you are getting shooting ultrawide (are you using your Samyang fisheye?). The large painted hand that is visually connected to the face works well. What works a bit less well is that because you are shooting with such an extreme lens, we get a bit of background into the image as well. Here the light colours are a bit distracting and don't frame the face as well as they might.

Raj,
Beautiful shot. I agree with Manfred that the background needs to be toned down

Thanks a lot for your valuable review and suggestion. Yes, i have used 8mm Fish Eye on Crop body for this shot and i was very very close to him.

Wow what a dramatic image, I like it a lot. If you could darken just the white building and the sky a little I think it would be improved.
