You are right. Thanks a lot !☺️

Is this so bad to consider ??? no single reply, not even critic

Hi Supriyo, "Monsoon is not solely about rain. It’s a season, some would argue, even a state of mind" What a Wonderful Quote ! You said it !! Such a beautiful and powerful expression into words of one's picture and state of mind behind the pic. Another Wonderful appreciation, I have ever received. I am so much delighted that , you have exactly expressed 'What I have Seen' and ''How I have felt" and in such a rhythmic, poetic way. Your words, your feelings on Indian monsoon landscape are lovable ... I have exact feelings... I love this wilder nature, full of variety. it is blissful, energetic, Thanks a lot Supriyo ! feel so much excited .. Regards, Rachana Kulkarni

Hi Samstevens, Thanks a lot for appreciation and having look at my portfolio. What you have analysed is absolutely perfect. My titles are expressions of my deep feeling / Mood which I am trying to capture. Like in FATHER ..... Father is first hero, a superman for any little daughter. She always have full faith that her father can save her from any trouble. Here, the land is full of stones and the little girl is barefoot. Her shoes are far away. But She has her super FATHER... Her protector with her. Her actions and body language, speaks. I could read, feel , sense all that and could not stop myself from clicking it. BUT as you said, it is not straightforward title. It may disappoint viewers, if they are unable to grasp the deep feelings behind it. (and of-course, my pic has to be strong enough to express it, in first place) Some times I feel we should , express in few words , too , just to make others to understand your view (they may get related to it or not ) Samstevens, Really feel very much happy when some one ''understands' you. Whether He/she agrees with you or not is different matter. Trying to understand someone is a BIG QUALITY (& probably rare, too) Thanks ! Regards, Rachana

Hi, Thanks for appreciation, michaellinder Feedback and critic are always welcome. The photo is really of the beginning and not in the deep forest. My city is blessed with surround wilder nature and Mangroves. (India, Navi Mumbai, Airoli) Wandering in this wilder nature is utmost pleasure for me. This year summer was terribly hot and monsoon got delayed. We were eagerly waiting for it. Just 3-4 (but fairly heavy) rains, changed the scene drastically. I have posted comparison photo on FB. Leslie, has perfectly described my feeling about the the photo Regards, Rachana Kulkarni

Hi, Thanks for appreciation, Ludmilla. The photo is really of the beginning and not in the deep forest. My city is blessed with surround wilder nature and Mangroves.

Hi Leslie, This is the most wonderful comment I have ever received. From all aspect, Understanding the photo, compliments, plus-minus points, and full guidance. First of all, how perfectly you got my feelings. What you are written here, is the exact interpretation of my feelings. ” I’m seeing this image as a celebration of the renewal and life that the onset of rains brings after a long dry season; it evokes the feeling of relief and excitement that I get when the autumn rains in my region finally return—I can almost smell the newly damp soil. “ These are the exact interpretation of my thoughts while composing for click. “The aspect of the image that I find most attractive is the rich array of greens. Other elements that catch my interest are the backlit leaves in the upper right, the suggestion of vertical lines in the foreground left and center, and the massive dark horizontal line of the branch.” These are the exact points which were bothering me but were unavoidable. “Distracting influences are the bright sky at the top and some of the details in the mid-ground shadows (which make the image very busy-looking).” You got connected with the image and by-heart, came out with the flaws and uninteresting part in the image. (And not as plain technical critic) It is mentioned very nicely and in detail. Most important thing is, You have not just stopped by pointing out flaws but suggested the ways to overcome it. That, too, Very Deep and in-Detail ! Thank So much for taking out time and appreciating me, and guiding me. I am really thrilled and inspired. I Would Love to have guidance in future, too.
