i would like to know your comment and
suggestion to make it better or what should be done differently

thank you

Iqbal, this image of yours represents a reportage one, where you have presented the viewer with a tightly framed aspect of some individuals portraying themselves as sculpture, no?
The composition is good and the PP you have applied in the second shot has improved it, too.

In regard to the reportage aspect of this scene, we need to see more images of this event. This image needs to be complemented with others to give more detail and understanding to the viewer, as to what was occurring.

thank you paul. this is an opening act, where people in white and some in gold were doing some sort of dance.

but i pick this particular picture because i like it so much, and i think its the best from the bunch

i have posted some picture of the art festival on
link

but here some on the opening act

I really like that first pp'd shot. Great composition and it's very intriguing. For the same reasons I really like the last as well (maybe cropped a bit tighter to exclude the person to the right)- the contorted hand is a great touch.
