Another set of well-composed shots.  The strong hand of composition and tonal preference works for me, except for the shot of the woman with the phone...the background is distracting.

Beautiful photos Aguinaldo. You have a keen eye observing anything interesting amongst ordinary.
My fav is the first one though and #8 - for such interesting framing.

Thank you Anirban.
This is the best compliment I can have. I don't care very much for the technical aspects of a picture or equipment. I really enjoy looking for different pov.
Your country is on my list of interesting places that would certainly provide awesome images.
Best regards.

Very very nice set Aguinaldo. I really enjoy the way you present what you see, changing gear as needed. Some strong, some interesting, some curious...
 
 I like the conversions as well, may I ask how did you do it?

Thank you.
Until a few months ago I've always used the regular PS CC B&W converter.
Then the Nik plugin Silver Effex became free and I gave it a try. Still trying it.
Not sure yet which one to stick to.
SE seems contrastier.
I don't like to use different tools to do the same job, and I'd rather master one and stick to it.
In the coming months I'll see if I come back to PS converter or not.

You deserve every word of it, Aguinaldo.
India is, lot of diversity for one country - both culturally and geographically (heat, cold, extremely crowded cities to vastly under-populated places, temples, forests, valley of flowers, desert, rivers and the Himayala). You will certainly enjoy photography in India. Many photogs I know prefer northern parts of India - they are more colorful.
