What a wonderful achievement to receive such recognition for your photographs! My congratulations, Angshuman!

Now to this photograph - I love the pov, and the ripples, travelling diagonally across the lake, draw the eye with them towards the interesting building and the warmth of the rising sun.
Superb colours and reflections, and the birds .. . they are a wonderful bonus!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Angshuman.
You have a wonderful image here, made with a slow exposure that has left the birds blurred in the most beautiful way. The tranquil atmosphere under the morning sky, the silence of the ripples and the man's thoughts, make this a photo to treasure.
Congratulations on your success in the publishing world.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Angshuman,
There are so many details that make your composition excellent.. first of all i like color tones of the sunset and the surface of the sea, it!s so relaxing... the birds create nice atmosphere in the sky.. and a thoughtful or a tried man in the foreground..
Congratulations,

Hi Angshu!
It's been a quite long while that i entered into your gallery again :) This picture is very nice, i love the pastel sky full of birds, looks great. I would maybe prefer to have this shot without that sitting man, but nevermind, i still like it.
Nice weekend

Hello Angshu
The peaceful morning atmosphere is well conveyed with the soft sunrise colors making their apparition and I like its reflection in the water which has a nice texture. The capture of the birds are just a plus!
Have a nice evening

A very nice post. The composition is very nice, the central topic (the temple surrounded by the water) is very impressive and the colors also very appealing. The man in the foreground is also a nice addition to the composition. The only weakeness (but this is my personal opinion, which does not seems to be share by your criticizers) seems to be, for once, the flight of birds since their blurred aspect deserves the sharpness of the rest of the image. Pethas is is only because there are to many of them.

All the best,

Emmanuel

This is a lovely shot with a serene early morning atmosphere. The subtle colours are so restful. The composition is good with the man in the foreground enjoying the sunrise and making the ripples in the water which is a strong feature of the image. I like the flying birds too. Well done

Your note has a lot of information. The sunrise is giving nice colors to the scenery. The capture of the ripples in the water are an asset to the composition. The point of view is giving depth to the photo. The subject is well framed. Have a nice day.

Hi Angshuman,
It is a very beautiful scene the one that you have caught here, my friend.
I like the weak light of the sunrise, the pink tones in the sky and in the reflections on the water, and the elements as the small temple, the man sat in the wharf creating the wavinesses with his foot, and the birds flying in a very dynamic scene.
Everything works very well to give a beautiful photographic result.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Hello Angshuman,
Another piece of relaxation along with the beauty of India's monuments and the end of another day.
Those birds flying over the scene are very important to get this mood but also the relaxed look of this man contemplating the magnificent view.
Cheers.

Hi Angshuman!
Congratulations :)! Seems they have chosen very well because this is perfect. What an atmosphere you have here. The light and the great composition. You placed the man and the pier very well and the birds surrounding that little dome in the middle are just great. Quite worth the effort of getting up so early!

Hello Angshumanda
hope you remember me. long long time back. this shot of yours is excellent. the mood is perfect and the placement of the subjects is brilliant. the clarity is pristine, however, i know it is difficult to caputre flying birds. they always seem to appear blurred. overall a great capture. i regret i can award you only two points....not more!!!

All the little details in this photo combine to make one great image. I especially like the way you captured those birds flying. The 1/30 second was perfect to give them a little motion blur. I also like the inclusion of the man and the ripples in the water. Of course the early morning light is what makes it all look so special. Good work.

Yes, Angshu, I believe that's the most famous "chattri" of that place (I believe it's the same one in the shot I posted)... but it's not just the chattri and the ripples here, for your compo is remarkable, with the guy in fg and the sky full of birds. Congrats for the publishing of the pictures in that magazine! Regards, Daniel
