Nice theme, and very nice pics as well.

Just a thought for the future (and maybe it you've already done it).
I'd probably have shot several variations of the first three shots to try and nail the best composition.

It's a rare talent that could get the perfect balance at first go. I need to work at it.


I even invented a term for it. I call it "Composition Bracketing"..  :)

Thank you Girish. That's my favourite as well.

Thank you, hvyas. I agree. I've started doing it more often. :)

Thank you, Bharat.
I couldn't agree more. I did wait at the spot for the 1st one and was fortunate with the two walking in unison after I let a few pass.
I regret not waiting at the other spots, though. But you see, I already make my wife wait for evening long exposure cityscapes and for a lot of landscapes. I didn't feel like imposing my photography on our travel walks. :) And I agree. Waiting does give better compositions / elements. But sometimes I have to compromise.

I suggest you patent this. This is useful. :D

EDIT: Just noticed that everyone's post count has dropped. Is that due old posts being archived or something?

I like the second image most.  I'm impressed by the convergence, the control of perspective, the strong angular lines and shapes, and how the people draw the viewer into the frame.  Congratulations on the nice series.  Great idea, Manoj.

Thanks you, Henry. Really appreciate the feedback. I like the idea of presenting photos with a common theme as a series since the photos connect with each other narrating a larger story. All of them were shot on different days.

I hope I'm not violating any rule for image posting. The rules say 5 photos in a post, but not in the same  comment :)

Excellent subject placement. It is giving new dimension to the shots. In your earlier series also you did the same.
