Srini: this is full frame and i did not shoot a vertical, unfortunately So short of cropping this one, there is no option here. What i liked was the crescendo of dark rising towards the right in the frame, which i suspect would be lost in a vertical crop...
arati, what i find really interesting in this lovely frame...is the slight tilt from left to right upwards...of the "smouldering " grass...and that the sun is not sharp, clear and round,probably swaying blurred grass has added the effect.. very very nice.
For me this image talks about a burning passion kept ablaze against a thousand engulfing odds...an optimist's statement of life!! TFS Arati... On a side note..Nilanjan-da has been talking about going to DNP for quite some time now...guess the choice of next winter is going to be difficult in between Corbett or DNP
What a wonderful interpretation, abhisek. Thanks for that. It breathes an alternate life into the image. I doubt i'll ever be able to see the image now without thinking of your words Many thanks, these sparks are what set cnp apart. A
