***The Journey To 50*** Photo

Photographer’s Note

Its my 50 th post in TE.I dont know how much I have improved,what I know is there is still a long way to go...Perfection is an abstract word,and a paradox in itself.However,the journey that leads one to attain a level of being at an acceptable photographer,is definitely on.
The journey so far in TE has been splendid,much more than my expectation.the greatest part is ,none of my shots have left uncritiqued,which itself is a great accomplishment for a rookie like me.
Thnak you all for the great support you have rendered during this time,commenting and appreciating in every aspect.I would look forward to the support that you have always given.
Photoshop,Neat Image were things of some other universe to me until I joined TE.Now whatever little I know ,is beacause of TE.
I would thank all for all the workshops given on my posts.They were not only great but taught me a lot of lessons.
I feel proud to be a member of a community which has so many generous,helpful and great souls under its name.

For the record,this is the road that leads to the Resum monastery from Rinchenpong!!A heavenly trail filled with deadly leeches!!!!

Hello Sagar,

I am so happy that i am the first one to comment on your 50th shot..!!

C O N G R U T U L A T I O N S...!!!

Firstly, U have been a perfect learner from the very start and yes you have improved by miles..and the example is this beautiful shot..!!

Secondly, the trail here, has been very well composed by you with a very nice POV and the path leading ones eyes towards the farther end of the shot..!! nice greenery and also na perfect shot for your 50th post..!!keeping the fence on ones side of the shot has paid off here..!!

I wish you and us many more such visual delights from you and may you learn and reach the very nearest milestone to perfection in the times to come..!!

Love,
Indroda

P.S: Reduce the number of stars in the second last line of the note to decrease the page width..!!

Well, I guess congratulations are in order, this being your 50th photo and all. I had a quick look at your others and I'd have to say this is one of the weaker ones.
I don't view the photo as a 'continuation' of your photography (to 100?). It looks like you're lost and you don't know which direction to go in. I think you could have chosen a better one for your 'anniversary'

Congratulations on your 50 posting. I agree, the people on TE are so wonderful and helpful! I really like this picture, the interesting path, the fence, beautiful green trees. TFS

Dear Sagarneel,
calm and beautiful air you took in this picture.
the pass into the forest is very suggestive.
pale and deep green is reliable color, it makes peace of mind indeed.
thank you and congratulation,
Akihisa

hi Sagarneel!
congratulations on your half century!
i have heard that Rinchenpong is a beautiful place and i plan to visit the place next spring when i hope the deadly leeches will be hibernating!
the composition as Indro mentioned is simply great. however, i felt that the picture was too bright to convey a feeling of mysticism. so i took the liberty of doing a WS on this picture. please view the WS and let me know what u think.

regards,
Nabarun.

Hi Sagarneel,
CONGRATULATIONS! You have been an excellent member at TE. Always ready to learn, always keeping your mind open. I, for one have always enjoyed discussions with you (be it photos or other topics).
Rinchenpong leeches couldn't stop you from taking a nice shot, well composed. Well done.
Good luck,
Shaeri

Dear Sagar,

I missed some images here in your gallery..

this is the path to walk to 50...
defend all the hurdles, and win the game..
the path maybe filled with stones and nails..

CONGRATULATIONS..

Hi, Sagar -

It's a nice shot, but I agree that Nabarun's WS makes it much better. Keep it up! We look forward to the next 50 - and more.

Hello Sagar,

congratulations! I like very much the idea behind this trail, the message it conveys. The perspective is, IMO, very good, giving a feeling of being there on the path... I also agree that the workshop is better in the colours/brightness/saturation, bringing out the full possibilities.

And yes keep it up ! It's worth it!

A special mention for the always interesting notes you take the time to post !

My best regards,

Michèle

Dear Sagarneel
Congratulations on your 50th post...keep on posting & take my word, you can only improve. You've used the fence well for perspective & the road as a perfect lead-in. Lots of greenery around. Well done & shall eagerly wait for your future posts.
