I love the look of this. It's funny because if you hadn't said
anything, I would have thought this was staged. Well done on the
B&W conversion here. Tones look great.

Thanks, dude! This pictue has become my new favorite

At first I shot JPEG because I was naive and wanted quantity over quality.
Then I shot RAW, because I was still naive but wanted quality over
quantity. Now I've gone back to JPEG because I'm no longer naive, and I
want both quantity and quality.

Hi Mahesh,

This is just an amazing shot. Perfect choice of B/W and the
composition is marvelous. I don't know but it would be interesting
to see a version with the whole body visible, might create a bigger
impact with the background.

Thanks for sharing !

Cheers
Jens

Thanks, Jens. I agree with you about the whole body view, but this was a snapshot and I was using 80-400 VR at 80 mm and couldn't zoom out any more. I'll take what I can get

Absolutely love it. This is excellent work and a very special
shot. Your use of B&W has improved considerably I think!! The
tones and contrast you have chosen here compliment the shot
perfectly.
A keeper.

Thanks, Steve. Haven't seen you around for a few days. What have you been up to? I think I'm learning to SEE in b&w a lot more now and that's 1/2 the battle, I've found out.

Hey Mahesh,

I'm just about to walk out the door for work but wanted to ask you
a question. I showed this picture to a friend of mine yesterday
and she just called me to ask if you'd sell a print to her. I
e-mailed you but you haven't responded yet...check you
u.washington.edu e-mail. Let me know how much you want for it, if
you're willing to sell a print. Thanks!

Just got read your e-mail. Next time just e-mail me at [email protected]. I check this much more frequently. Check your e-mail...I've sent a response.

,the Time Tunnel Traveller has an umbrella...

Derels comment covers it all:

composition, frames'n'frames, circles, perspective, DOF, greyscale,
texture, smell....

This is a winner, maybe the best of your shots I've seen (probably
missed some in the past)

Just curious, what does it look like when colored ?

Best regards,

Thanks Claude. Take my word for it...the color one sucks! I'm not at home now so I can't show it to you, but I'll try to remember to upload it later tonight.
