Hi Rajkumar, I really like the way you have processed the image, the monochrome feel and the bamboo forest in general. The backlighting, without losing the foreground detail works well here. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely b/w image here, works very well to highlight the bamboo, wish the human fence was absent, Amazing tonal range here.

nice image Rajkumar.. In my view, would like to crop/clone left side bamboo...but not sure about the result

Raj, love the layered effect created here...a screen of dark foreground that one peeks through to the misty, muted, fading forest at the back.. standing in the "now" and looking forward or back..kind of feel.

I love bamboos, Rajkumar - and this is an instant delight, this image.
I wondered, though, what was your reason for leaving the fence in?
had you considered taking in by about 50-60 pixels the left hand side so you get the full trunk, and cropping the image to the top 2/3rds so you eliminate the fence? the curtain-falling effect would still stay that way ...

beautiful processing and tonal range. loved the image.
thanks,
A

Thanks Vikram, VMR, Ravi, Neelu, Arati.
I was sought of aware of the fence but was restricted by the water and only prime lense to do different.
Yes the cropping ideas may work. Let me try that out.
Required careful tone management right from exposure but the D800 sensor did match up to the task
