Hi.
Superbe image composée de vert. J'aime ces différentes lignes et ces courbes composées par ces collines.
J'aime bien ce cadrage avec ce chemin qui nous emmène vers l'arrière.
Dommage que le ciel ne soit pas un poil moins lumineux, mais c'est superbe quand même.
Very nice shot.

Bonjour Arnab,
J'adore cette photo montrant un lieu très paradisiaque, bien entretenu. Les verts sont bien captés et j'aime beaucoup cette rangée d'arbres et l'ombre qu'elle porte sur les champs de thé.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Quite surreal looking. looks almost unnatural - so perfect I can see why it was chosen as a movie set.

Hi Arnab,
Very nice composition with a strong diagonal.
Good sharpness.
Only the light seems little hard.

Excellent.. a bi-color landscape that seems a pastel, with a strong green and a soft blue. Nice!

uhmmmm, I like Darjeeling tea and this one looks even better than in my tea cup. Very good composition of beatuful ladnscape and nice colors. It's a pitty the tall trees are too dark, but dynamic range of the scene was probably too wide for your camera.

Thanks for sharing,
Marek

I knew you would, you could and the waiting is rewarded for this outstanding shot, what a layers and composition in a sea of green to a fine blue sky, even outrising my boldest expectations, this is simply the most beautiful shot of the teagardens I have ever seen.
Thank you so much Arnab

Romantically India. They say wine is a good as where it comes. Pretty much just like tea. And the best teas or wines, always come from a countryside where, not only it is good for them, but just as well, to the eyes of the beholders.

Great landscape, very clean and very well organised. Good to see trees in the distance as well as the diagonal in the front.

Superb composition of lines and curves. The green is lush and excellent. A pity that the light was harsh. I think I would have waited for late afternoon to take the same shot. The photo reminds me of the Shire where Hobbits live in the Lord of the Rings ;)

Excellent green in the photo. Reminds me of the tea gardens in Munnar. the tall treea add a special touch to it.

very well composed - obviously u knew that while u pushed the button - so there is no point telling u all of that again and again - i only wish that u had cleaned the pathway in the foreground before exposed - otherwise u know all of it - its been said earlier - hats of to your eyes

Lovely tea garden you got there, Arnab. I have a couple of pictures of the now almost defunct tea gardens in Kangra valley of Himachal Pradesh which look pathetic in comparison to this.

Hello Arnab!:)
This is great shot.Composition is perfect.What a pity,thst the sky is not a little more blue:).I think you should try polarizer filter or gradual grey filter.Regards!K.S

Hello Arnab, this is a beautiful composition of the tea plantations. I love the small rounded hills, they remind me of my recent visit to Srimangel in Bangladesh (maybe I'll post some pics soon). The grassy track leads the eye into the frame well and the trees do a good job of adding interest where there would otherwise be a boring sky.

Hi Arnob,
Excellent shot with green and green every where. A polarizer might have made the sky a bit bluer. The diagonals, varying shades of green and the trees made it a really good composition.
I went to Darjeeling in February and shot some of the te garden there. But all was covered in cloud and fog, and light was inadequate. Now I know how it looks without the fog.
Great shot. Thanks for sharing.
