Hello Tejal ... My thoughts are 1) 66% of the first two pictures are blank, blue sky. Objects are either forced to the left or to the bottom without some form of connection between them. There is no firm focal point. 2) Picture three reduces the amount of blank sky but introduces a power tower that is very distracting to any purpose. The cricket bat points out of the picture, too. I suggest you ask yourself (not me) what you saw that seemed to make a picture or tell a story. There is perhaps a relationship between picture #1 and #2 with the people walking from and to Ganesha's hands? Could a blending of the two pictures start something?

Thank you Roger for your feedback. Not sure blending will work or not. My intention was to showcase connection between idol hand n people - inward or outward. I have some more frames too. I will share those too very shortly.

Nicely composed and exposed, I'm viewing on my phone so quality of image will be evaluated later. I like how you positioning the people to almost interact with Ganesh; they almost appear to be traveling from his hand. There does appear to be a smudge on your sensor.

Tejal ... I understand your objective is the visual telling of the story of the coming and going of life from the hands of Ganesha; presently shown in two pictures. The basis of my observations are based upon a very traditional compositional element ... the rule of thirds. The other, a lesson one of my favorite teachers explained to me is that good composition starts from the background forward. I am not advocating that rigid symmetry be observed, by plopping things into the middle of the picture. Nor do I suggest that complex backgrounds be provided. Here is a suggestion ... obtain 2 Ganesha statues, place one on each side of the picture with hands out, this helps frame the scene. Find either a beautiful sun set or a day with wonderful clouds to provide a background, then have the people walk (late in the day or early in the morning) as you have from one hand to the next with them even upon the horizon ... below would be sand or something simple, above either sun set or beautiful clouds. This is just my idea ... you can probably come up with better. You are very creative person. Regards ... R

Thanks John. Yes I also noticed that. Yesterday only have cleaned the sensor ( automatic in camera ). But it seems it is not yet clear.

Thanks for sharing your view. I will try it.
