About the Image(s)
Captured during morning blue hour. The 'namam' (tilak) on the forehead indicates the photo is captured in south India, & the on the nameboard of the shop indicates the photo is taken in Andhra Pradesh of India. The steam from boiling tea made a photo for me

Good image of early morning life. I'm assuming this was outside because you captured the early morning blue hour. I'm impressed that you were able to stop the flow of him pouring the tea in a neat stream that was not blurry at 1/25 sec. The 6D must be good at slow speeds. Posted: 02/01/2025 14:30:47
Great street scene. I particularly like how you captured the action, the man pouring the tea from such a high position into the cup, and the steam coming off it. I suggest cropping to balance the composition as shown, because the pot on the right takes away from the dynamic between the cook and the customer. Posted: 02/02/2025 17:31:36
Great street photo with cultural presentation, I especially appreciate the bindi on the peddler's forehead. I also appreciate the red canvas which sympathetic responses to the blue sky!! You did a great job handling with 1/25 and keep both faces clear!! Excellent!! Posted: 02/02/2025 22:52:28
