FEEDBACK

Mr Vinod commented that the market workers (Fig 4) and the chopper knife (Fig 5) could have made a good series if I had continued with that area of focus. The bicycle (Fig 2, 3) and barber (Fig 1) do not fit with the above two mentioned. 

REFLECTION

I must learn to understand which pictures are able to fit as a series and which do not. I think I am doing alright so far with exposure. However, it is still quite difficult for me to decide how I should capture certain subjects - from which angle, composition-wise,. The entire process takes time, yet subjects can change or be interrupted in matter of seconds. Another tip to be a good photographer - be proactive and efficient.
