I like the scene and how you share it... Great colors also, specially the yellow of the sari.

Nice image Arindam,

I initially thought you were talking about the latin dance chachaha ('cha' three time ;o).

How do you manage to get such nice light, the colors exposition and colors are great and the chacha ('cha' x 2) is nicely & lively spotted out.

Thanks, Alain -

Hello Arindam ,
Beautifully done. The Cha Cha is rightly on focus.And the blur on the other areas and the light looks like there is a spotlight on him.The expression on his face suggests a very experienced man explaining.
Very nicely done.
regards

Hi Arnindam,
This is simply brilliant. I guess everything about this is so perfect, the subject, his animated expression, the superb play of light and shadow and all this inside a crowded train - i am amazed.
Best Wishes

Very nice stuff Arindam!

You really picked the man out of the crowd using both light from the window and fantastic DOF. A great way to shoot a crowd, theres no mistaking where the focus of this composition really is.

Arindam,
A nice spotting, well presented.
I love the suffecient DOF & POV to bringout the bokeh & interest1.
Well done.
Cheers,
Prem.

Hi Arindam,
Great sharp focus on the Cha-Cha and you used well the light coming from outside which gives the real mood in this train.
Great shot

Very unusual capture, Arindam. Excellent color and dof, with a very apt focus on the animated muslim man.

I do like these train shots that you have posted, Arindam. Being a 'local' it is much easier for you to take these very natural shots unnoticed - almost impossible for westerners to do. Excellent DOF and exposure in this one. Cheers . . . David
