ARKO's TAKE
The reflection on the glass window adds a pleasing complexity and chaos to the frame. And the buildings in the reflection give the context to the picture - the visit of Nikki Haley to Mumbai.

ARKO's TAKE
The blue and yellow colours strike an interesting contrast. Sad to see the ship, a war-veteran, go down.

What is rarely seen in public, is suddenly captured two days in a row on camera. Seems like a book reading week for film stars.

ARKO's TAKE
A picture with an interesting and relevant political narrative of the cousins. I quite like the pole dividing the frame - it is interpretative.

ARKO's TAKE
A nice portrait of the actress. I like the inclusion of people in the foreground which makes the moment look natural and candid, as if she is unaware of the camera. The bright light on her creates a visually striking 'spotlight effect' too.

ARKO's TAKE
The emotion of the star boxer makes for an arresting image. I like the composition too and the low depth of field.

A different side to the cop - a serious check-up throws up an unusual, even amusing moment.
