Tea Garden Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I took this pic on the way to Jalpaiguri town, West Bengal. This town was mainly developped by British during the late 19th and early 20th century, when they found the region north-east of the town (called the Dooars region), near the foothills of the Bhutan hills very suitable for tea cultivation. Within a very small period of time, the area was dotted with thousands of tea gardens. People flocked to the town to be a part of this lucrative tea-trade. The main attraction of this place is dense forest and unending tea gardens.

Hello Arjun,
Nice greenery. Wonderful sotthing effect for the eye. But, I think some workers working in the garden would be a better composition, otherwise it is looking a bit flat. Also may be there is some oversharpening effect.
Regards
Sayan

After the high standards you have set recently with your seires on Durga Puja as well as few other shots, this one does come as a disappointment. What's wrong with this picture? Nothing really, but it simply falls flat without much to offer. You shot it around noon, so obviously the overhead sun didn't help matters.
Best Wishes
Sabyasachi
