As this forum suggests, this is not for the weak hearted and since you have invested some money into photography let us take the liberty of taking you apart.

Firstly, when you are choosing a subject to photograph, the subject has to have visual appeal somewhere, be it squalid slums or the emerals of the Nizam. Next you have to make it look even better with a great angle. Then you have to get the exposure just right playing with the aperture and getting the right DOF or its lack! Then comes the cropping bit.... and so on.

Your first photograph of the tiled roof hut looks like you were passing by and you just took a shot. This can be made to look really good to. I don't know how, just think about it. The portrait of the man is again OOF. Your best work so far is by far the Hitchcockian staircase shot in B&W. Splendid shot that!

that staircase one looks cool :)

Rest are just ...don't want to be hard on you ,but KrishnenduKes has said enough.

Like the two people who have posted above me, I also loved the stair-case shot the most; keeps my attention on it for quite a while. :) The rest of the shots are quite generic, with the last shot really dark (I could not make out the subject of the photograph, unfortunately). :(

the last shot is of traditional lamp stand/housing of Rajasthan.
i intentionally kept the surrounding dark, just so that the object stands out :)
