Hello Sreya! Thank you :-) 1/1.25 seconds cannot be a hand-held shot. You need a tripod for these conditions. Given that is not possible, you can try increasing the ISO and shutter speed to 1/15 or 1/20 which can still be completed with the hand safely. Also you can see both bright and dark areas in this picture. You need to use partial metering (default generally remains center weighted average). Partial metering is effective in these cases to get better exposure.

Hi Sreya,
Your message on TN led me to your portfolio here on TE.
Unfortunately, I do not take part on TE anymore. I focus on TN only.
You wanted my views on your Charminar series you created along with some other young people from Hyderabad.
This particular image, as others too have pointed out, is blurred. Apparently, you did this shot in a hurry. My point is: why hurry? After all, this subject is not going anywhere. Moreover, take at least two to three shots of the same subject (choosing different camera settings if you have that option in your P&S camera) to make sure at least one of them is really good and does not make you feel unhappy before posting it on TE.
Out of the remaining shots of Charminar area, I like the close-ups of the minarets. The details of exquisite work done on them are well recorded. Mecca Masjid looks good in the shot where it is isolated from the drab urban surroundings. The hospital picture is the mundane view of an ordinary over-crowded street and the light suggests you took it at a bad time of the day -- mid day or early afternoon. Try next time to shoot the hospital either in the morning or evening when the light is slanted and mellow. Crop off the street scene at the final editing stage.
Hope you did not mind my being frank and candid.
Ram
