Hi Umesh,

Thanks for the hones critique, I am an amateur photographer, just learning the trade :).

But yes, I could have had shot some better clicks especially in terms of light and composition.

Currently, I am using a Panasonic Lumix FZ18, but vouching to switch soon to a semi Pro Canon 60D body.

If you could find some time to comment and suggest improvements on individual shots, I would definitely take a re shot of them with due considerations .

Lovely site.The black BG goes well as it does with typical photography blogs/websites.

The photograph titled Morning Raaga is the best of them all. It's a well framed shot with the concept of 'leading lines' used. Nice tones too.

Myrtle Summers is a good candid shot. You could tilt and adjust the photo correctly for an improved look as the frame looks a bit tilted wrongly. 

School chalein is a well framed shot. Good selection of subject. The background of the photo , however is overexposed.

Again excellent framing for Deepawali 2010 photo.

The cross processed image looks a bit artificial for my liking. Vignette is something that would look good only in certain instances. This is however a subjective take. You could search and download  standard cross process effects for Adobe from the net and then further tweak them to your satisfaction.

Keep going dude !

Thanks a ton Midhun , Your comments are very encouraging, and led me to have a second insight at existing clicks.

I second your opinion on Cross processes image, and I am not much of a processing guy , but this particular image was very flat with a good concept and composition , so i had to hide my mistake by vignette and processing.

 

I would definitely take care of the tilted frame, many people have reported the same on my clicks, so that has to be top priority for me.

I am going through a photographers block right now, so better utilise it via Reading and concept building :)

 

Thanks Again.
