Scooting thru some albums, I came across this... (Jaipur, India)

It works well as a document of the place and time you visited there rags... but sorry, imo, poor composition and technicals
limit the image significantly.

Thanks for looking in and the comment

and for the record I screwed up - she's a goat herder

So where did I go wrong

I don't think you can really "go wrong" in this situation rags - anytime we can create a document of a place and time in
our life-adventures it has a great, and often, very personal value.

But, looking at it with a nit-picky-photographer eye, imo, the subject is not sharp and too centered - the oof foreground is not part of the story - the herder's pose is awkward,
lighting is not ideal, and, I've never seen a five-legged camel before.

I know these are things we can't always control when we capture the world candidly - looks like you may have been
traveling by and were able to capture the scene only in a moment.

Well you gave valid points, I followed some of your direction

It is a candid shot; shot at about 40mph thru a bus window

I re composed... sharpness - well it is what it is, a street shot

I was sloppy & lazy in PP,

Thanks for the CC



BTW, do you know how hard it is to find a five legged Camel, especially who wears a sandal????....

Jeeeze...

The edit is a bit of an improvement, not a miracle cure. Interesting subject, but the softness and especially the bad light have no real solution in post.
