Pavan Kaul's Images: AMBROSIA
Same Same But Different:)
Posted by Pavan Kaul (Mumbai, India) on 23 June 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Just thought I'd try this in monochrome...If you've seen the color do let me know which one you prefer.
A note to all my wonderful friends at Aminus3: Being a bit caught up with work these days I apologize to you all for being unable to visit your pictures as regularly as I'd like to and thank you for your wonderful, valued comments:)

'AMBROSIA' is what I have named this photoblog, since 'creative expression' is the nectar that nourishes the soul of all creative artists. One can spend a lifetime taking pictures which may eventually add up to just a few hours, but come to think of it, that may just be the sum total of ones life. A camera as a companion is an absolute must..be it movie, or still."

What a wonderful composition Pavan!
It works well in monochrome, but I prefer the colours version.

I think the framing gets more attention here in mono. Wonderful look!

I much prefer this version. It has mood which the other one lacks. My first impression was "storm coming".

This is awesome Pavan... especially that "timeless" feel! Yet, after going back and forth quite a few times, I must say that the exceptional beauty of the colour version appeals to me slightly more!:-)
I guess I fully understand what you meant by being caught up with work - my day job (jobs) is driving me crazy too these days! Take care my friend!:-)

Looking at this one, I think I prefer it because the graphism is really artistic !

Both are nice, but I like the monochrome better. Nice place, by the way.

Love this. I think I like this better. However, I would like a bit more shadow detail in the beautiful trees.

Without doubt I prefer the colored one :) I feel the last one was more or less a treat for the eyes!

this is great also - I love the waves and the contrast with the dark trees is great also! I can't choose!

I much prefer this one Pavan!
It has a great feeling of stormy weather....really well processed.

I prefer this one as well - gives it a sort of moody evening looks and to me seems much more out of the ordinary than the color version

@Jason Kravitz: Thank you Jason!
Bertrand from Paris, France
Wonderfull shoot. I like very much the contrast and the shadow. Good view and good light. Great job

I prefer the monochrome version because it has a distant feeling of eternity.
