Photographer's Note
Traffic Chaos : This is another Iphone-4S image from Central Calcutta depicting a state of traffic chaos in the middle of an important intersection.The vehicles as well as pedestrians are going haywire and not following any road traffic system to make way for each other.The road space in Calcutta is substantially less leading to situations where such chaos becomes common.Calcutta being a cosmopolitan city, you may notice an elderly chinese couple sitting on the hand-pulled rickshaw.

Bonjour Farhat,
Une très belle scène de la vie quotidienne dans la ville de Calcutta. Le chaos habituel bien mis en scène dans cette photo noir et blanc qui donne un petit côté documentaire à l'ensemble.
Amicalement

Excelent Iphone picture, farhat, amazingly sharp details collected.
The street view might be more vivid in the colors version, to my humble opinion, and not a sever chaos...
good evening,
Ike

Hello Farhat,
a very interesting photo of daily traffic in Calcutta. The clarity you've achieved is superb, the monochrome treatment is very effective and there's a fascinating 3D effect on the moving people and vehicles. There are important daily life details in the background as well. I like very much the sense of depth and the empty foreground. Your composition is excellent and the scene looks chaotic and neat at the same time. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely day,
Ourania

Yes, this describe traffic situation in most countries. The last time I visited the Philippines the traffic situation was worse but what amazed me was the absence of traffic accident, hardly any. Nice capture with good details. Well done, tfs.

Hi Farhat
you could post these street scenes from Calcutta every day and i would never get bored of them.
in this one, its funny how the white car acts as the focal point as it stands out brightly.
its fun to see the different cars, different modes of transportation everywhere.
fun shot!
cheers

Hello Farhat,
I think traffic chaos in Calcutta could look a lot worse, but nevertheless this is a good photo from this fascinating city of yours. What I find most fascinating of all is that very little here indicates that this was taken in 2014. It might as well have been from the 70's, or even earlier. And it's not just the B&W that makes it look timeless, or old. I only see the same kind of vehicles that have been around for decades. Maybe 40 years ago more men would have bean wearing dhotis in stead of trousers.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Farhat
Of course, your work for a black depiction suits well to the feelings of those bad-tempered drivers!
Stunning view, compared to the more modern building and signs of backdrop!
Cheers.

Hi Farhat,
I suppose as long as no one is seriously injured, this could simply be considered as controlled chaos, yeah? ") Amazing to think that there isn't a constant flow of problems in a situation like this...I guess you just have to keep your wits about you at all times! A great depiction of the frenzied atmosphere and non-stop action, and the black & white format adds a nice touch to the entire vibe. Just another day on the streets, right? :) Have a great weekend. Take care.
Friendly wishes,
Jason

Howdy Farhat,
Interesting monochrome scene, autos, pedestrians, carts all crossing the intersection in orderly chaos. Probably slow enough to avoid collisions as long as there is sharing?
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,

Dear Farhat,
In my opinion, it is a little chaos. Very heavy traffic can be seen in Delhi. Delhi has more than vehicles compared to total vehicle in other 3 metros i.e. Calcutta, Mumbai and Chennai.
Well composied pic in B&W.

Hi Farhat,
This photo makes me smiling, bringing me back to Indian town daily life.
You have captured this street scene from excellent perspective. Monochrome conversion works very well here. The light and clarity is superb.
Very well done.
Greetings,
Miro
p.s. thanks for your comment, so far I'm doing well, only the weather is not very friendly with me.
After 3 months I shall be much closer to your place.
