I'm not an expert on cricket, although I grew up in a cricket-crazy nation, but I can safely say that the term "cut" is very familiar to all cricket lovers.

The photograph itself is nice, but it's too static to be interesting. I would recommend playing with a little bit of (fake) Gaussian blur on the bat, and possibly adding some (fake) bokkeh to the background. I recognize that these suggestions are borderline cheesy -- but those are my initial thoughts in terms of how to add more "dynamism" to the image.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and for your comments.

I understand your sentiment. In this case, I wanted to tell the "back story" of the photo shoot -- because the subject is very well known to a specific segment of viewers (i.e. fans of Karnatik or South Indian Classical Music), but may not be familiar to many other viewers, especially those not acquainted with India.

Regards,

Kartik
