Photographer’s Note
Marine Drive is possibly the best way to discover Mumbai. This is a windswept promenade, flanked by the sea and a row of art deco buildings. Looped between the concrete jungle of Nariman Point, Mumbai's Manhattan, and the leafy green slopes of Malabar hill, Marine Drive was once called the queen's Necklace, strung with glittering street lights like an enormous strand of imperious jewels. It is also one of Mumbai's busiest roads, an important artery for the heavy suburban traffic heading downtown. Cars whiz continually past the two mile stretch, past huddled lovers, children and babies in perambulators. Like other seafronts, this is where most of south Mumbai comes to breathe in some fresh air.
Taken from the room where I was staying in Oberoi Hotel in Nariman Point, the south end of Bombay City.
Sepia to add mood to the image :)

My friend Vishal,
You make a very good perspective picture, my question why in BW?
The curving gives a lovely composition, also the way and lantern poles show you excellent, I will help you, a small remark Vishal, your picture tilt much to left, two; in sky I can see very a lot noise! Maybe you have to few pixels or to much sharpness!
I hope you appreciate my comment, I find to have absolutely two point for effort.
Greetings,
John

Hi Vishal,
Wow! This is quite some view of Mumbai!
I admire the composition here, where the main attraction for my eyes is the curved beach line!
And of course Marine Drive is a spectacular beachfront avenue...
Sepia tones work well even if the picture is not that old... Nit: Slight CCW tilt? Maybe...
Greetings,
Pablo -
