adithya, no matter what's the post-processing ... there are few images that have everything that is needed to be great, when you pressed the shutter button ... this is one of them.

i simply love that surreal feeling it evokes and the way that small bird gives the final punch! though, the image looks little oversharpened to my taste, if i tell you the truth ... nothing matters!

regards.

WOW is all I can say Aditya! Yes cant agree more with Nevil, some images are born winners. Liked how the wavy lines converge to a single bird. And blue is just the right color for the BG. Would like to know how you manged this shot?

Harsha, It's a result of zoom burst. It was a late evening, so I could achieve slow shutter. The blue is also the courtesy of the late evening.

Am still thinking Adithya. These are images which makes photographic art so special. The image just said it all, I do not feel the need to redefine visual finesse in words, as words would always fall short in explaining what made this image so special. Congrats and Compliments.

Nice work on zoom burst Adithya. Might crop a few pixels off from the right (for my tastes).

Adithya, Very graphical and artistical feel. Nicely done with black lines and blue sky.

Very well conceived and executed Adithya. You may increase the contrast a bit to see how it adds (or substracts). As presented the image looks a bit dark on my calibrated display.

Ganesh,
Taking your suggestions I made some changes. Please have a look http://creativenaturephotography.net/fo ... ?f=9&t=351
