A study in contrast
I am not talking about the photos contrast. The rocks in the BG are part of the Ramnagara belt and as per studies about 2.5 billion years old. That is before any life form on earth. In contrast those leaves are such a transient form and shape. Just a flash...may be even less

Art is about what is inside rather than what is outside

It is a strong visual, Raj. Borders on surreal! Those tiny flowers, lit like diyas hold up the light to the whole study of contrasts. Nicely done!

thanks, Ramesh. On another note, I would say as a departure from reality this is no different from the Hornbill image ( you were present at the scene). Your views?

I know, Raj. So, we start all over again: is this digital art or a photograph? Where do you draw the line? ha ha

On a serious note, key difference with the hornbill image is that the definition of key parts of the image is retained here. Tonal (attribution and range) departure from reality isn't the issue. Existential omissions (does that make sense) between capture and presentation was the core issue with the hornbill image. Here it isn't. Hence the leniency...
