Delightful. Incredibly beautiful and such a perfect shot in every sense. Thank you very much for your comments Pavan, it's an honor especially coming from you, cos I'm still always in doubt about myself and my skills.

20 Jun 2010 7:41am

@Nitin: Nitin, self doubt is the greatest catalyst for growth and improvement. To feel that we know all there is to know is certain death of personal development! I believe that one learns till the very end and from any and every thing! I wish you a lifetime of creative growth and fulfillment:) Thank you!

Very nice Effect. It will be very nice if you could describe how you did it. Perfect shot and nice colors.

16 Dec 2010 7:13pm

@Uday: Thank you Uday! Well, to begin with I had to crop the image considerably as I had shot this from a distance at 70mm. Then I made an adjustment in curves followed by selective color. I rarely use the saturation tool. Hope that answers your question:)

Pascale from La Bonneville sur Iton, France

Woooow,I love the colors,I love the idea,and I love the black silhouettes!Marvelous picture!
