Evening Solace, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

" THE human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot fly,
While, lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion,
The memory of the Past may die.

But, there are hours of lonely musing,
Such as in evening silence come,
When, soft as birds their pinions closing,
The heart's best feelings gather home.
Then in our souls there seems to languish
A tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans of anguish,
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.

And feelings, once as strong as passions,
Float softly backa faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tale of others' sufferings seem.
Oh ! when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time to be,
When, through the mist of years receding,
Its woes but live in reverie !

And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness;
And, while the sky grows dim and dimmer,
Feel no untold and strange distress
Only a deeper impulse given
By lonely hour and darkened room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking a life and world to come. "

- Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855).

An evening near Jaipur.

Hi Vishal,

Even though the photo is quite noisy, I think you've captured the amazing colors of the sunset quite well. I like the composition: with the large swath of sky occupying the upper part of the frame...

cheers,
biswaroop

Good evening Vishal,
The sky has remarkable colors., and there is no over-exposure. It is a well captured sunset. I regret a little the rather visible noise. Good work.
Cordially

Hello Vishal,

surely a wonderful sunset, but there is too much noise in the sky which spoils the beauty of the clouds. That's the problem with compact cameras (mine has the same problem too) they produce a lot of noise when the light is dim. I tried to clean it with an antinoise program but I didn't like the result because the clouds lost their sharpness... So it seems that the only solution is to use a better camera. (:-)
Anyway its a good capture and composition.

Best regards,
Donato

Hello Vishal,
The sky has great colors and perspective is very good, only a small detail ... you should try to eliminate the noise to improve their image.
Best wishes,
Charo

Namaste Vishal!

I like very much this kind of natural captures...

Good idea to give all space in composition to this wonderful sky in fire, deserving a very nice image...the only point is some noise on dark colours...but the average capture is really nice and well done...

Have a nice day...

Hello Vishal,
A splendid capture of this magnificent evening sky with such a wonderful range of tones, ranging from burnt orange to dark purple. The vertical format is well chosen to emphasise the layered effect. An image full of atmosphere.

Hi Vishal,

This is a wonderful, beautiful sky. I love the way the colours move from the blues at the top of your shot to the reds at the horizon. great clouds to disperse the light. well done,

regards, Iain

Hi Vishai! What I like most in this storm scene is how beautifully you managed to capture the sky it's so soft and deep. And then there's that wonderful "brownish-golden -red" color that warms the whole picture. Charming composition. ,

Hello Vishal,

Some noise in the picture but nothing important regarding the incredible light of the sky. It seems that the sky is on fire.

Very impressive.

HI Vishal
Indeed a nice sky with an attractive mix of warm qnd cold colors. The problem here is the noise, mostly visible in the dark areas of the image. It is possible to reduce it using specialized software like neat image
Have a nice day jY
