Photographer's Note
The monsoons are delayed and the city of Kolkata (Calcutta) is yet to cool down sufficiently after the torrid summer. The clear water found inside green coconuts is cool and refreshing with a number of health benefits. I am told that the discoloration / dis-figuration on the surface is caused due to the radiation from mobile phone towers.
A snapshot taken with my smartphone.

Namaste Satya
Couldn't help thinking about the old song "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" In this instance it's true. Looks like the lady is more interested in the juice than the fully ripened coconut. When my sister lived in far north Qld, the pet doberman would de-husk the coconut and then she would wash and open it and save a piece for the dog. Tfs

Hello Satya,
A very ordinary scene in an ordinary street, but a kind of picture any street photographer would love to take - at least I would. I like how you cropped it so tightly, cutting off all disturbing or unnecessary elements, focusing entirely on the bunch of coconuts, the salesman and the customer. But the inclusion of the other lady, the girl and the bearded salesman in the background, and even a glimpse of a lady in a pink sari much further away, has created a strong sense of depth. I think you have very good eyes for the everyday beauty in your own well known environment, which is a gift that doesn't come to everyone.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Satya,
J'aime beaucoup ces scènes de rues avec les marchands de fruits ambulants et le beau service personnalisé ou on prend bien soin des clients tout en offrant un petit spectacle.
Amicalement

Bonjour, Satya,
Belle image rendant compte de la vie quotidienne.
J'aime le rendu donnant l'impression d'être sur place.
Un moment de la vie quotidienne pris sur le vif donnant plus de force à la composition.
Amitiés.

Hi Satya
really? radiation from the phone towers? thats interesting!
Personally, I'm not a fan of coconuts and coconut juice, but as for photos they're great subjects :) Its a great looking daily life view/scene, especially with the large blade knife he is using. good one. cheers

Hello Satya,
An excellent photo of this encounter between the woman and the coconut seller. Excellent colours and clarity and you timed the shot really well. He had really a lot of coconuts on his bicycle there.

Hello Satya, daily life. A very interesting scene taken with excellent sharpness.
A very interesting arrangement of coconuts attached to the bicycle!
The sharp knife concerns me a little!
An informative note.
Regards Jean.

Hello Satya, Interesting scene from the street in Kolkata. Big bunch of the coconuts. The big knife looks a bit terrifying. Some interesting details, like the sign on the wall. The coconut water is good to drink and cool a bit. But what I find especially interesting that the discoloration is due to radiation from the mobiles towers. Is it really true?
I found in Google about the research of the scientists in Kolkata. Strange.
Kind regards Malgo

Hi Satya
You have captured the essence of the place well here, What immediately strikes me is, the priceless expressions of both as we are treated to some bright eye-pulling colours. Good street shot, well exposed and pin sharp. Well done
Best regards

Ciao Satya
strano che i cavi del telefono possono fare certe cose, ma non improbabile.
La foto è comunque molto bella e la nota interessante.
Saluti

Hello Satya,
A nice observation from this market vendor who is clearly convinced of the quality of his product and the woman who positively critically inspects the green coconut.
Excellent work.
Have a nice day,Rob

Hello Satya,
Excellent with the long row of coconuts and the view into the street that creates good depth on the picture.
You took it on the right moment when the coconut is handed over to the buyer.
The man still has the cleaver in his hand.
Best regards, Paul

hey, great street scene, love the natural colours and clarity, great you included all of the coconuts in the foreground, and don't believe everything hear about those horrible phone towers, love the irony that you took the shot with your mobile phone... left me as satisfied as that customer!
