Hi Satyaki,
You have some very impressive shots in your gallery. While browising through this one caught my eye because of the rail tracks. I just have the feeling that the tracks are too much on the side of the frame for which the resulting impact is not that much.Like the dark silhouttes and lovely color of the sky. Just missing the tracks in its proper position in the frame.

Hi Bodhi,

I like this composition.Specially I like the background light and colour. I guess, your grandma's face is bit on the softer side compared to the rest of the frame - but that hardly matters here.Nice textures on the face and the expression is well caught.The light is very much ambient and fits very well into the whole composition.The power of wide angle can be well understood.

Hello Bodhi,
This is a wonderful take.I like the side on perspective.The little child has added to the drama.But I will be very much interested in vewing how it would look in its original tonality rather than the desaturated tone.
Welcome to Trekearth.

Hi Sanjib,
Indeed Rishap is beautiful. You have captured a nice mood here. Love the bluish tone, the distinct layer of mountains have created a nice ambience. Just feel the sky is bit over and perhaps a crop from top would increase dynamism in the composition.
Thanks

Hi Nabarun,
Nice to see Dooars through your lens. This has been a very typical view of the jhalong valley from the view point. The greenery looks very lush and attractive.What I like is the light here, the shaded and well lit part of the valley has created a nice contrast.A good composition overall.

Hi Ziggy,
Excellent capture. Superb light and clarity.The skyscrapper buildings rising tall has added a nice perspective to the composition.

Hi Abhijit,
Welcome to TE.
Fantastic composition. The clouds have added to the beauty - no doubt about that. The great "K" is in its majestic glory through the clouds. The light and colours are great but yes, do try to add some note with the photo's u post here.

Hi Sabya,
A nice capture indeed.Reminds me of some of the posts by Arnab Chatterjee here in TE.I like your chosen POV here.The B/W conversion works quite well here. But I think the F/G is bit too dark here.The flying bird at the top is cut suddenly - which is a small minus point here.I feel, overall it is a nice composition and with some small adjustments you will surely improve upon.

Hi Raj,
Very very unusual I must say. But I must also admit that it is very very interesting.Good experiment I must say and the result is very nice indeed.The composition looks gorgeous with all those colourful rings(?)and the look of the shopkeeper to the side.You have captured a wonderful moment with strong diagonals. The light is fantastic as well.

Hi Indro,
Nice experiment indeed. But I'm not fully satisfied with the outcome here. According to me, you were bit too far away, that's why the milky or dreamy effect of the waterfall is not that eye catching to me. Had you been bit closer to the subject, more vivid and prominent the effect would have been. Look at the overall frame - to me, there are bit too many things other than the waterfall that catches my eyes. That's just my opinion. Hope you won't mind.
