Very dramatic sky… !!! Looking so beautiful !!!
Classic shot …gr8
amazing picture. keep it up. it’s truly amazing. sometimes lonelyness is also beautiful than being with some one.
i love sillhoutes
Oh I love this visual .. beautifull captured .. its magical
composition is wrong,the frame is divided into half,the cyclist is going out of the frame,the horizontal black patch is distracting,and I personally don’t think this picture comes in travel category.
Very Good !!
@Vilas,
To me Travel means a lot. It is not only the expensive travel or travel in a well-known place.
This photograph was taken at a remote area of Bengal and I personally get true feelings of travel there.There is no such glamour in that place but I like the virginity, the vastness, the emptiness….
may be we may differ in onion but this is my personal view.
Regards.

Would love to see your pic in the final five !!
Hi partha,
The impact of the silhouette against the dramatic sky is outstanding. I must congratulate u for waiting for the magic moment and clicking the same.
Best of luck.

@ Vilas,
firstly in creativity, there is nothing like right or wrong , its an individual’s own vision.
so you could say a vision “sucks” or its “brilliant”, but its not “wrong”.
and who cares about theory like “the frame should not be divided into half, the cyclist should be getting into frame not out”…
your boring man…get a life
and congrats Partha!!!
great capture * excellent timing * well deserved

Just wondering.. Is the image photoshoped?

A classic, which has been captured. I would live to know the EXIF.
Astoundingly beautiful composition. So dramatic, it compelled me to comment. Keep clicking, and don’t listen to pretentious low-lives like Vilas. The picture speaks volumes.
