I was just admiring the beautiful filigree patterns and intricacies of nature when a thought came upon me: 
"Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?"  ~Rom 9:20 (KJV)

Simply put it....Man, the created one, has no right to question God, the Creator!!

The times and seasons are ordained by the Lord! Had some great weather in B'lore today..a spell of rain, a great respite from the dust and heat!! Dad helped with me with the umbrella, while I fidgeted with the cam and the tripod. Ahem.. don't try this when there's a lightning storm brewing overhead!!

Mohit Chauhan's live concert in Infy. Apparently I never knew who Mohit Chauhan was or for that matter any of his songs and neither was I interested in listening to the music! As far as I was concerned it was a great photo op not be missed. The dodgy lighting on the stage made photography challenging.

Self critique.. phew..!!

Is the composition good or do you think it could have been better if the subject would have been at a different position? Is the centre of interest to your liking? Is the centre of interest given enough emphasis? If you are showing the mountain range, do you have more focus or emphasis on clouds or foreground elements that distract?

Is the eye contact good and engaging? Do you think that the photographer could have tried to move closer? Some crawling in the belly would have been good? Or waiting at a place for the subject to come closer?

Do you think that the background is right? Well diffused or distracting? Did I use shallow depth of field (an aperture of f4, f5.6 etc to isolate the main element and throw the background out of focus)? Or do you think that using a higher aperture (f8 and above) has helped in bringing more of the background into focus and thus giving a good idea about the subject and its environment?

Do you think the image could have been brighter? Is the exposure right? Are there underexposed and overexposed portions in the image?

Does it strike an emotional chord in you? Or is there something different that you can do? 


A few damning, but to be asked questions...!! :) :)
