Kamal,
I agree with everything that Rajani and Larry said, so I won't repeat there critiques. What impressed me the most was how wide spread the devastation was. I'm sure that there must have been alot of television coverage of this disaster. It would have been nice if you could have captured some of the news reporting and included it in your video.

Rajani,
An enjoyable video of a subject that I had never heard of before, The Pushkar Camel Fair.
I read Larry's critique and I agree with alot of it but I have reservations on some of his comments. I agree that photography is always about the light, but that's not all. Photography is also and most importantly about the timing. If you are going to wait for the perfect light you may miss a once in a lifetime shot. It's much better to take the shot and fix it, or not, in post than to miss it altogether.
Larry is a judge of competition images and he is critiquing as if they were submitted for competition. In the General Guidelines for Digital Dialogue it states "These groups are for learning. This is not a contest, but rather a sharing of images, techniques, and personal reactions." These may be Larry's personal reactions but, they sound like they are coming from a judge rather than a casual viewer. Also I feel that some of his comments were based on personal preference like his dislike of animal butt shots and that's fine but not everyone's preferences are the same. Personally I liked those shots. I thought they added a bit of interest to the presentation.
On the technical side of the video, I agree that the use of the same transition throughout was not a good choice. I noticed that many of the images were abrupt fast changes from image to image with an immediate zoom in or out. It would have been better to use a fade and only use the zoom on images you want to highlight. Also it would have been better to use less images in your presentation, with a longer view time so that the viewer can absorb the beauty of what they are seeing. From 4:41 to 5:11 there were 8 shots of the camels being herded. It would have been better if you would have shot a video of that rather than using 8 still shots that were very similar.
For me, the shots that I enjoyed the most were the sunset and campfire shots.

Peter,
What an excellent video! I love how you incorporated the hyper lapses into it, giving it an extra feeling of excitement. Your still shots fit in well with the video, showing the smiling, excited faces of everyone there added interest to your story. The music was well suited for the mood of the event.
Well Done !!
Dick
