Pramod if I remember well, then it was you who first posted the lovely images of the rocks and their shapes and textures in CNP. Since then I kept my eyes open for these kind of images in all the forums I visit. Once one starts photographing these, one finds out how difficult it is to select the right frame and here you have again done a marvelous job. Best wishes for your experiments and explorations. I had once seen the mountains of Afghanistan from a British Airways flight on my way back from UK. These patterns remind me of how the mountains looked from the top looking below.

Nice patterns here Pramod. As in any macro some more dof (towards left of the frame) would have helped. I think you may try some subtle curves adjustments to comphasize the brighter verticle curve more. Thanks for sharing..

Absolutely lovely textures in the rock. Love the colours (and the variance/differences in colours/shades) in a small patch of rock - what beauty nature presents to us. This is one of my favs from your rock collections.

Absolute beauty pramod ! The pattern,colours & texture collectively present a unique abstract...

Abstraction is an extension of the real or it is that part of real for which meaning has not been received yet. So in a sense abstraction, instead of fixing a visual, frees it making it open to interpretations. In this sense this image has a grasp which extends beyond frame, words, color or pattern. They all vie for space and attention making the image look evil, benign, satirical and even erotic at times. Your experiments are quite probing I mussay.

coming back...to your preamble for the image "exploring the rocky patterns and ..." the line snapped at me just as I was about to log off and questioned ..is this exploration of rocky patterns really an exploration of rocky patterns? or it's an exploration of something more intimate and personal?
