Thanks a lot for ur inspiring comments on my work ... browsed ur port today and will be back frequently ... there r many things to learn from u ... like ur works ...

Thank you so much for your comments. You are really way too kind. I really enjoy looking at your portfolio. There are a number of excellent images here. I love the "New Morning", it evoke such feeling, advanture, even a littel saddness in the image. Your color images are full of vibrant colors, details, and stories.

Please post more, as I need to learn your art. I mostly shoot only one subject, so I can truely learn from your skill in capturing some many different subjects.

Thank you again, Alex

Hi Rakesh, your comments on one of my photos led me here to view your portfolio and oh, what a delight... Your subtle craftmanship is superb! Your photos exude a calmness that is enchanting. They are also technically excellent. I would love to see more. Kind regards, Ian.

u are one of the people who are really know how to do his job.speechless .in my humble opinion u are an artist in every sense of this word.i want to take some lessons from u because surely i have to learn many things after i saw your work.my deeply consideration

Very Nice portfolio Rakesh. Thanks for the comment on my photo.

excelent

I really like the way you use light and shadow. All your photos are nice to view. I would like to see more of your work. Thanks for sharing.

Jed Andrews

Thank you for visiting Rakesh. The only thing that disappointed me on your ortfolio was a lack of a big collection. Very good colors. Shall come back for more. What is the secret to your lighting. All of the images are so well lit.

awesome potrfoilio! very unique style of work with comprehensive study of light & composition. i find ur work interesting bc like old painting masters u work more in shadows than light. its that amazing control that lets light fall excatly where its needed & more like rembrandt, stays around the centre of the frame rather than the endges. besides impressive B&W, ur inspirational hues strongly hold the eye. i just fell in love with ur work. regards!

Very impressive portfolio...I enjoyed very much, greetings from London

Sheila

de superbes compositions! et de magnifiques portraits!

Very nice work, hope to see more soon, perhaps some lanscape from your home ? you seem to be good at all types of photography, keep it up.

A small but beautiful collection of thoughtful compositions. Espcially love your still life (perfect lighting, exposure & set up) & portraits ( each tell their own story). Cheers, Cherlyn.

Thank you for the comment on my photo, your portfolio, in particulare the still life section, is very impressive comparing it to mine I'd like to see more photos :-)

GREAT EYES YOU HAVE

Again a new visit, every time I came here and I think perhaps one day I will have a portfolio which is even half as beautiful as yours and I would consider myself lucky! Truely inspiring stuff! I love your depictions of people for a start, somehow managing to capture so much personality in your portraits. You also obviously have a great eye for detail and for getting an interesting viewpoint. Great angles and shapes in some of your more abstract stuff. I think I can safely say that yours is my favorite portfolio on PN and I will be back without doubt! Proud to have you as an Indian as I am. Rgds.

one of the best

Excellent portfolio.DOUBTLESS 7/7

Sir, My name is Rashed and I am 24 years old, I do not know how I reached this Portfolio of yours, but here I am, swimming in very high skill and wonderful world of photography. You remind me with your portrait with kursh, a Master who I like to learn from his School Of Portrait Photographic Art. All this might not mean any thing to you as we being in different world but please understand that with all of the hard times I have with my English and little experiences in this field I try my best to promote the Art of Photography in my part of the world That why I do my best to build a photographic site and having in mind to raise its class as much as I can future wise. There for Sir, I like to invite you to join my site and let people from Qatar and other GCC countries to learn from your work I live in Doha the Capital city and father was and still a serious photographer, although he never though of making any money out of it but he was and still a great investor to this field. It is some times so hard to find the appropriate words in English to express how I feel about your work, but let say, I like what I have seen a lot and wishing you a very long happy and peaceful life.

beautiful portfolio, great photos and I like your still lifes the best though, thank you for your rating on my photo

Beautiful still life.... Most excellent works..

All your still life, portrait and other photos are pure magic and magnetism Racesh. EXCELLENT WORK!!!! Congratulations for having one of the best portfolios on PN. Ill be back soon for more inspiration. Yiannis

my friends for your valuable words, they mean a lot to me!!

Excellent portfolio!

Nice to see ur works in 19th FU International Salon of Photography ... congrats ...

Absolutely gorgeous work! You should be very proud!

Amazing and beautiful!!

Very nice portfolio...Congrats dear my friend...

Simply one of the best portfolios here. I love your work!

hi rakesh - on briefly going through your gallery, i must say it means a lot to get a compliment on lighting from someone who has mastered the effective use of it. your collection of mystique-themed portraits is, simply put, beautiful to look at.

frankly, i was surprised this portrait turned out as well as it did: it was an impromptu night-time shoot at home, with the rather garish, dim light from household lamps requiring a high iso. i guess sometimes the shadow play that such lighting naturally causes leads to interesting pictures!

i look forward to examining your pictures in more detail, in particular to enjoy the vibrant colors you somehow manage to capture - vikram.

Just without words. Perfect portraits, perfect macros, perfect colors!!! All the best to you!!! :)

I just discover your work i am very happy to do it . Your portafolio is excellent , specialy for the protrait and the still life.

Best Regards

thank you for your comment about my last photo...i think that your portfolio is very marvellous, and your still - life are very inspiring for me ! best regards emanuela

I'd like to thank all of you for your kind words and support in my work. It's a great motivation to go ahead!!

Hey Rakesh - I'm honored to have a comment from you! Looking at your portfolio, I sure do have a lot of catching up to do. Incredible lighting and eye, you've got. keep up the good work!

...Rakeshji, for commenting on my photo "Dry Tap". I appreciate your input. Please keep guiding me from time to time to help me improve.

You have a wonderful portfolio with many strong pictures I enjoyed looking at them

Regards Yannis

Very fine. I like your more commercial work as well...well seen, great light. Best wishes from Albuquerque, New Mexico

Sir,
daily, in every morning, when I make the last preparations to share some pictures or just in my usual ramblings at deep corners in PN, when I am not sure if one image exposed there can be "good eat for the eye's hungry light", I return here and I looking again in your marvellous portofolio. After that, my natural reaction is to renounce because here, in every picture, I can see the majestically danse of that subtile light waltzing in couple with the perfect tonality of the dark, all in combination with the diplomacy of fine spirit of art. Your work is like a diamond, is pure, positive, firmly... if you want, is like a lotus. Remain just your distinctive images where the words are unspeakable...
Thank you!

You have a beautiful portfolio, full of incredible images and color balance. Still life is very masterful, with fine light control. Khan

Great portfolio!! Congrats!!

I really appreaciate your still life & portraits-Perfect!

Your play with light and shadow is just remarkable. And you've got an unique way of introducing color, in the exact quantity (no matter if color is just an accent or if it's everywhere). You really have a lot of talent and experience I suppose. I've got a lot to learn from your work and for that I thank you.

Thanks for continuously monitoring my work and progress Rakeshji. Hope you can see some improvement. Wish I could photograph more frequently, but things do always happen the way you want them to be. That's life, I guess.

One of the finest portfolios I've seen, just amazing work. Your landscapes and portrait work is excellent, as all of your images are. One of the benefits of someone commenting on one of my postings is to find a portfolio like this to view.db
