Hi Angshuman,

Congratulations for being on TE for one year. I've only been on for 2 months but feel very much like you do, this site is truly a humbling and learning experience. TFS your wonderful photos with us and thanks for giving us your honest critiques for our images, I know I really appreciate it. As for this image, I think your composition is strong and I like your POV. You did a nice job in documenting the customers interest in the bikes at the shop. Well done and look forward to many more images from you.

Hello Angshuman,

J'aime beaucoup les motos. Ta prise de vue donne l'impression d'avoir été saisie à une autre époque ! Félicitations pour ton premier anniversaire sur TE !

Dear Angshuman,
A perfectly chosen image (ofcourse one expects no less from you) for the occasion. Street photography (like portrait) may not be your forte but you have done pretty well on both counts whenever you have ventured out. The admiration ofcourse is both ways. From well documented notes, alternative WS versions, travelogues, Workshops, in-depth critiquing - you have done it all. A Trekearther in the truest sense. My special admiration for your series on Lepakshi (one of the best architectural series on this site) and your pictures from Angkor inspired me to visit the historic ruins. It has been a pleasure knowing you and having you as a friend. Thanks to TE for that:)
Best Wishes

I simply wish you a happy new year !
I'm surprised by your choice for that event, but it's really a surprise : not used to find this kind of mood, especially in B&W in your gallery.
I don't know why I find it... indian !! Reminds me the movie "Doom". An unexpected compo.

Hi Angshuman,
Congratulations for your 1 year on TE! I just celebrated my 1 month (hehe) and am already addicted to this site and the amount of information it contains...
There are very few members like you... talented photographers, active critiquer, adviser, motivator... this is the treasure of this site...
Thanks a lot for sharing your passion, for your generosity.
Vincent
PS: by the way, I like this picture too!

Bonjour, mon ami Angshu,
Un an sur TE, cela passe vite, surtout si l'on se passionne pour la photographie.
C'est très gentil de votre part, Angshu, de remercier les membres de TE, cela prouve que vous vous sentez bien sur le site et qu'il existe une bonne ambiance.
Une photo de 1994 qui ne manque pas de qualité. Le noir et blanc convient très bien au thème choisi.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Olá Angshu, what have you done bettween 16 of November and the 1ft od February? Trying to understand how this worked ;-) Just kidding...
Congratulations on your first year. Almost 200posts and that's quite good, but the best is the quality of your work and not the quantity of it, especially the excellent informative notes and critics, where you try your best in the analise of the images presented. Your spirit of sharing is one of the best here and I'm glad to know you here.
About the image, it's quite a surprise and you should know that I like that. Give me your strangest experiences, please. I wouldn't guess that you are a fun of motorbikes ;-) I like the b&w presentation and some little details, such as the posters (Rock) in the background and the pigeon (strange...) in foreground. Even the overexposed windows please me here, as it works with the age of the photo ;-) Well done, my friend!
All the best for the years coming,
Ricardo

Hi Angshu,

Congratulation for your one year TE, Indeed on this site them can very a lot learn under each other, also the contacts between the different country and religions, all with one objective, make a very well picture!
You show a picture out of my country, city Antwerp, around the central railroad station, find indeed now always splendid bikes!
Very well done! TFS.

Regards,
John

Hello Angshuman
HEhe, I wonder what were you doing these over 2 months, as Ricardo wrote :).
Thanks to you I got accustomed with India and other Asian countries. It is good to see things I usually don`t admire :).

Nice capture with good depth of field. Interesting light in this b&w performance.

Hi Angshuman,

A nice photo of the man adjusting his helmet before going on his mortorbicycle, the black and white is showing a lot of details. The photo has a good composition and perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Ah...Angshuman...we have to admire you.
Congratulations on your 100th post. Street photography is definately a pain in the arse...I admire this medium quite a bit and can't understand how people become so good. Anyhow, I really like to see the B&W film scan...the tonality is alays nice with film. You are a friend and I hope I make it to your home or you make it to mine...
Regards,
Chris.

***Not sure where I got 100th post from...I guess I'm a little bit of a space cadet. Anyhow, congratulations on your 1st YEAR! Got it right this time.

Hi Angshu - congratulations! yeah, I remember that period last February... it's been a great pleasure to follow your work and your wonderful photos since then, actually since your second post (although I still have to catch up with those you posted during my absence here in the summer...) Thanks for your posts, the notes, the insight into your own photos and the valuable comments and feedback given to others (including me), and for the friendship!!! Regards, Daniel

Then happy anniversay if it was one year ago.

This B& W picture gives a good result, even if the sharpness is not up to nowadays digital standards. I believe bykes, cars and women are probably the three things that usually make men stop in the street just for looking. But personnaly I am immuned from the first two addictions...

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Anshu,
You have had a good year with lots of interesting travels; very likely enhanced by this lovely addiction we share. The growth is clearly evident in your photos, processing and notes. Of course that is why we come here to this admirable website. Wishing you happy travels and skyies with lovely photogenic clouds, Pat

Hi Angshu - happy anniversary (I missed mine last week) interesting and unusual shot, I wish the right side of the person wasn't cut off, though I know it's an old shot.

Hello Angshuman,
Congratulations for this first year among us, I'm sorry I'm so late but not always I have the opportunity to come...
About this photo and after reading your note, I must disagree with you, who told you that street photo is not your best? By this one I would never say it for sure. Love the POV with all the motos lined in diagonal and this man preparing to ride one of them. The B&W choice was really good. The prints on the walls with "Rock" inscriptions fits like a glove on this photo.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hello Angshuman,

Superb shot and accompanying note. The scan from an old B&W photograph, not even a film negative, has put this image two steps back, and yet it is remarkably sharp image. Moreover, you had the good eye for composition back then as well.

Regards,
Bulent

Hi Angshumanda,
"Street Photography..definitely not my forte" this is a big understatement! For me, your better shots are actually these! Nature and architecture shots are good as well, but these just stand out. Beautiful work.

Well, looking at the bikes here, we cannot consider them as oldies, not even in the date the shot was taken, but Angshu, my friend, your election of B&W for the picture makes of it a past times image, with all the taste of times which have gone. (could have been custom bikes, and the effect would have been brrrutal!)
