Sinking into the Abyss
When I climbed on to the top of one of the rocks at the Irpu Waterfall in Coorg, I found this lying on the surface of the water, with sunlight being reflected to create little sparkles. With some underexposure, I achieved this effect that makes it look as though the sparkles are bubbles of water rising up from the sinking leaf.

Beautiful image Santosh. Really well exposed. I like the bottom half of the frame very much. If you had a polariser, I feel the reflection spots on the top of the frame could have been nullified. Nevertheless a very nice attempt!

Nice eye here Sant. The image is simply beautiful. Even the borders add to the beauty. Would have loved to see some ripples on the water though. But that would have removed the "sinking" feel to the image. Not sure if you were specific on that particular feel. But if you are then I must say the image does portray it in a way.

Very thoughtful composition here and the underexposure works .

Nicely seen Santhosh ! It seem to generate lonely feeling (leaf alone) in me. I am not sure of bubbles rising from leaf - may be I need to see how it appears on your screen since this one needs well calibrated monitor to process. I would open this image a bit. Thanks for sharing!
