Light and shade, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

This photo is taken in Bhul Bhulaiya.
Bhul Bhulaiya, a part of Bara Imambara, is a labyrinth of hundreds of narrow stairway passages, some of which have dead-ends, some end at precipitous drops while others lead to entrance or exit points. The Bhool Bhulaiya was constructed to confuse any enemy intruder. The narrow lanes of the labyrinth can make anyone feel lost. The king and other few only knew the way out. It is surrounded with 489 doorless similar galleries, where one can roam endlessly for hours. This is why it is so mysterious.

Hi Dibyendu,

Great shot. Your POV is highly effective to show the interplay between lights and shades. Excellent DOF and B&W is the right choice. Very well done. I like it.

Best Wishes,

Suleyman

Great Shot.
The DOF is Awesome.
But, I think You are standing slightly RIGHT from the Middle, or, the structure is slightly curved to the RIGHT.

Hi Dibyendu,

This is a very interesting shot. Liked the play of light and shade. Nice depth of field and perspective of view. Also to keep this is B/W paid off well. Well done and keep shooting.

Just thought of trying a WS with this photo. Cropped the photo from the outer sides to get a closer view of the light and shade maze. Sharpened the shot and adjusted the levels a bit. Hope you like it.

Regards,
Paromita

Bonjour Dibyendu,
un jeu parfait de perspective fuyante avec une excellente gestion des lumières qui permet de souligner l'alternance des ombres et des lumières.
Une profondeur résultante incroyable.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel.

Thanks for your visit Dibyendu.
Unfortunately GPS devices don't work under concrete works; how useful would they be to get out of those puzzling galleries that you depicted so beautifully!
Cheers.
Robert
