Ancient Earth
. . . An ode to moist deciduous forests of the western ghats . . .

They are best in monsoons and I was extremely lucky to witness it this time when there was a near perfect monsoon break even. This image might not portray 'monsoon' for many, but , the emotions I carry with me coupled an idea of portraying "other-worldly" or "ancient life forms" based themes perfectly goes with the image according to me.

Thanks in advance for your views.

Having born and brought in these areas I can relate to those monsoon wetness and lush green lines. Diagonal lines and subtle light makes it for me. May be just a bit more sharpness would add further ? May be ok on LCD/LED (I am seeing this on CRT). You may try B&W too with emphasizing green channel during conversion. Hope you had a memorable trip to Western Ghats Pramod..

Very nice seeing here PV! Excellent intimate landscape image! The lines and the greens along are the heart of this image. I think the image can stand a bit more sharpness. As presented it looks a tad soft.

This image does have a monsoon feel to it. Simply love the greens and the intermittent shadows. Reminds me of the treks in past in the western ghats.

Saw this in office but i was rearing to come back home and see this on a proper monitor (i know i was not wrong)
Just love the feel in the image. Wetness, Greens, Lines makes the image really strong contender for a perfect monsoon image.
I would def second others views on tad addition in sharpness and also a chance to play around with composition to avoid the dark region on bottom left and emphasizing on more greens on top right.
