ARKO's TAKE
An interesting composition using the windows of the studio as a frame around the cricketer. It not only makes it a striking visual but also helps focus attention of the viewer on the main subject, Sreesanth.

ARKO's TAKE
While the guns make it dramatic, taking a relaxed picture with a mobile is something that we call can relate to. An interesting mix of contrasting elements.

ARKO's TAKE
It is the man's expression that turns an otherwise regular picture into an interesting one. The photographer does well to include the man in this wide angle image, rather than zooming into Anusha.

ARKO's TAKE
Nothing dramatic happening here, but that relaxed, easy nature of the image is also its strength. And, it provides a peek into the high profile businessman's life.

American artist Jas paints a wall in Dharavi, Asia's largest slums in Mumbai on 9th March 2015.Picture by: SACHIN HARALKAR
ARKO's TAKE
The photographer effectively uses a fine arts composition of colour on monochrome to create a contrast in hue and texture of the bright paint and the dull wall.

ARKO's TAKE
A clean uncluttered composition with the face clearly seen, especially the eyes of the cricketer, a non disturbing dark background and the ball frozen within the frame -- and all this shot in low depth of field, making this a classic cricket picture. To be able to achieve this, photographer needs to find an ideal spot to shoot the pictures from and that would require him to sit directly under the sun.

Leaves fall from a tree as city's civic authorities trim it's branches in Mumbai on 10th March 2015.Picture by: ASHISH RAJE
ARKO's TAKE
Not much of a narrative, but love the form. The falling leaves on the dark background makes it almost look like a painting or visual poetry.
