Which place is this Ashwin? Monsoon for sure!

What a mood . The rains and the monoliths with light on them , mammoth clouds . Everything is a a treat to see here .

Thanks!

@Ganesh - This is from my balcony at home in Bangalore!! The distant hill is is Savanadurga and the temple complex is that of Omkareshwara of Omkar Hill.

Mast ittu Bhatta!! Lot of drama happening in this frame. First we get drawn to the hills, then the rain and the temple. Great control over the exposure too. Congrats.

This is an excellent image. Lots of drama.
The presence of temple makes this image for me. Gives a different meaning to the image.

How about cropping a few pixels from the top? And a little less brightness in the hill region? A little too bright for my taste.

Ashwini,

I tried some changes here.

What do you think?

OMG! if this is a scene from your balcony, you are at 'perfect' home!, Ashwini. Simply mesmerizing mood of the monsoon, including the temple structure makes this more real!
Regards.

Your balcony must be a fantastic place and it is a fantastic picture you have made! As other has commented, the temple is good in the picture, it gives perspective on how huge the size of the weather is. (It is little funny that my eyes like to go from the little black cloud on the light part, to the lighter temple against the dark background, and back, and again... )

What a sight you have to look at right from home, Ashwini!
Perfect rendition of the creation... love this.
