Ganshi, I love the second image even more, I may be completely wrong here as I have no experience in doing these kind of work, am guessing the flash which lighted up the bat was placed on the ground and was facing upwards. Was it possible to set up another flash to light up the face of the bat as well, may be one from the top side or one facing the bat's face with an intensity which would not have reached the pillars ? I know you have definitely thought of all these possibilities, the reason am saying this is the eyes of the bat would have generated further impact. I know multiple flashes can be triggered using the remote device, was it possible here ? I know its easier said than done with the bat too flying at great speed....I kind of liked the red tones at the bottom. One more thing, could you have light painted for a longer time, for more yellow and more details of the pillars ? For more uniform light distribution I mean. Another 3 seconds may be ? That probably would have illustrated how with time a busy temple of Hampi is now left ignored by human civilization, the only visitors or residents are the bats. Am thinking of a mood which narrates the story of man's wonderful creations lost in time. I know very well may be am expecting too much as what you have achieved here itself is too difficult to achieve.
