Woke up at 5 in the morning to rush to this place to get a few photographs. It's quite busy at 6 in the morning as its one of the earliest to wake up. I just wanted to capture all the people busy, ready to start another day. Here's one of them here. There are some more on my flickr phtostream Flickr: Amar Chadgar's Photostream

I've never done any street photography, so i'm definitely no expert, but it seems like it would have been more effective to have panned with the person so you would be able to tell what it is. without reading the description it's difficult to understand what the blur in the picture is

Not sure why you wanted to show how busy the streets are, but you took the shot early in the morning when there doesn't seem to be many people or cars. If you wanted to show how busy the streets are, why not take the shot when the streets are the most crowded?

Good idea actually. Maybe I should have included more things giving the photo a vibe of that place. Thanks. Will work on it.

My Idea was to capture this place early in the morning when people here are busy starting off a day when people elsewhere are asleep. But you've got a point there. Point duly noted.

I seem to have followed all the guidelines in there. Would you mind pointing out what I have done wrong in the post?

not a problem.
This is the part that was missed: specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question).
