    Sorry Awais,
    Not getting much from this shot. Light is a bit strong (in fact it took me a good minute to find the cyclist's head against that lit building). There's not a good focal point for the shot either.
    Hope that helps,
    E

    Same issues here. Not really a focal point and headless bicyclist is very distracting.
    Lighting is not very dynamic.

    I think a "tighter" study of the tool vendors would be more interesting. What I DID learn from the photo is that the Brits must have introduced traffic regulation to Pakistan, 'cause y'all drive on the wrong side of the roadmwink.gif .

    Actually these are the guys unemployed labour they told me these days there is very hard to find a work.
    They spend time while sitting on road to find a customer in need of labour to some related job

    thanks for looking

    Agree with Icebear. If you can reshoot, it might be better to concentrate on the laborer and his tools. The background is too distracting and takes away from the foreground subjects.

    It's interesting to see how they advertise their service by displaying their tools. Here in LA, day laborers just hang around home improvement centers, like Home Depot and Lowe's, waiting for potential clients.

    Not too much Awais ... seems to be somewhat random ... much different than your usual images. The very bright areas of the dirt and car really distract the eye from the laborers and bike rider.

    I See
    Lots of distractions Awais....it's been said already..no focal point. The main bike rider is somewhat lost with the busyness of the rest of the scene....keep shooting!
