Neat one, Saurabh. Nice idea. Was it done using multiple exposure in camera ?

This image conveys the 'African mood' well - the showers far off, sun peeping through the clouds throwing subtle light on the to vast plains.

Loved the blurred, curving brushstrokes-like filaments spreading out. Nice soft feel. rgds, Kaushik

Neat ! The ripples add a lot to the image. Great seeing.

It has a surreal look to it, Ganesh. But for some reason it's not working so much for me.

Beautiful ! Beautiful ! Wondering if pulling down the saturation of greens would help enjoying the patterns formed the tree branches better...

Interesting image, Swapnil. For some reason my eyes refuse to stay around the softer parts of the image and instead moves down to the corner where the paws are seen. Couple of thoughts running through my mind: - to crop off / exclude the paws from the frame - or would it have been good if the paws were blur / out of focus too?

Nice one Ashwin. Like the way the yellows (flowers?) stand out amidst the chaotic growth surrounding it.

Awesome Saurabh ! Very unique experiment - panning with macros. I can completely understand how difficult this could be. You've got it sharp.

Beautiful image with those outward curving lines. Lovely conversion as well. Looks just a tad over-sharpened on my monitor.

The mist makes this image very moody. Beautifully composed frame with the Rhino balancing the heavy tree on the left. If the Rhino could stand out higher against lighter regions (also contrasting BG), it might have added more to this image IMHO. This would've also meant you shooting from a lower perspective; and I'm not sure how feasible this was on field.

Lovely image. Nice seeing. The fresh green leaves of the solitary plant standout prominently amidst the muddy water. Might slightly increase the brightness on the DF. How I wish the DF wasn't looking away and instead turning into the frame...

Liked this series of 'right-on-top' perspectives Saurabh. Very unique indeed ! This one's my favourite amongst the ones you've posted. The patterns on sand spread out in the frame + the trail left behind by the bird (running across the diagonal) makes this special. To top it off, you've got some gorgeous lighting as well !

Nice light. I liked the pose of the bird here. Loved the perspective. Wish there were patterns on the left as there are on the right.

Beautiful image Abhishek. Loved those patterns created by the lines in the dunes. Might try enhancing the contrast between the light & shadow sides of the dunes (lines) to enhance the patterns. Might try a B&W conversion as Ganesh suggested.

Lovely composition. Very simle & neat presentation. Both, the colour & B&W versions look great. Might reduce the saturation in blues a bit - to give the image further calmness. I can vaguely remember Ganesh's image of similar kind from past.

I can (probably) understand the idea (of fractals) with which you've made this image. When connecting both, one does see the similarity in the pattern. That apart honestly speaking, on its own this image doesn't seem to appeal much to me. There's certainly nothing 'wrong' with this image but simply doesn't ring the bell (to me). The light on the trees (on the left side) bring out more than enough details which is probably counter-acting. I am trying to imagine if the following combination could enhance the image: a detail-less (or very minimally detailed) foliage/trees around the spot-lit crocodile + the existing blue skies. This could emphasize on the graphic impact of the image. Just my thoughts/opinion.

Mist adds a lot to this image. Lovely images - both your previous post and this one. Might crop a tad from the left to give same amount of room as seen in the right (from rock to edge). Thanks for sharing the image Ashok.
