Hi Sabyasachi,
A beautiful composition, my friend!
I love the contrast between the rural and the urban, so well depicted here...
Funny... it seems like each of the buildings has its own cloud..!
Greetings,

Interesting picture showing the clashes of a new submerging modernity against a truely forgotten world.
There are some thechnical points that I don't like very much. The picutre has a tilt to the left and the colors seems to be a little bit to oversaturated.
I guess you used a circular polarizing filter to achieve the cotton like appearance of the clouds.
Overall a very appealling shot.
Cheers, Peter

Good day, Sabyasachi.

The horse in front of the high-rising apartment buildings sure is a nice touch, but
- the colors are oversaturated
- the noise in the sky is significant
- the white building at the left is overexposed
- writing the title L I K E . T H I S doesn't save it either

Sorry if this sounds negative, but a look at some of your other photos suggests that you can do much better.

Hi sabyasachi
Very beautifull light. The contrast between this horse and the modern urbanism behind is great.
Very nice

Bonsoir, Sabayasachi. C'est une très jolie photo, et très intéressante : un cheval sur le fond d'un paysage urbain, c'est inhabituel. Juste une remarque, probablement très personnelle : je pense que les bâtiments sont un peu trop nets (pour moi) si on prend en compte leur distance. Amicalement, Grazyna.

fantastic colors and placement of the animal . Your notes are informative as well.
you certainly have a nack with color because it is outstanding in all your photographs .

This is not the Calcutta that we are used to see on world new!!! But at the same time it is not difficult to imagine a horse feeding on a park in front of the business district. You are doing very well, showing us different views of your nice town. I really do appreciate it. For the photo, it is very nice with a good composition and very good colours. I also like the two different skies, the blue and the white. Well done.

Hello boss,
- Amazing composition.
- The horse literally glows.
- Kokata looks very beautiful in your pictures.
- Very funny to see each building having its 'own' clouds..

PS: Eagerly waiting for your Cambodia pictures...

Très belle image qui oppose l'ambiance champêtre du premier plan et la ville moderne au loin.

Wow this is again a wonderful photo from you. Beautiful colors and very clear shot. Very Well done.

feather (51130) 2006-10-09 8:33

As with your previous shot from here the contrast between the rural nature of the foreground and the city behind is unexpected. The difference in the sky points to the pollution of the city and the clear air above I think.

Intersting landsacape with the horse and the building on the background. It look they are fighting for space, who gonna wins?

the colors are very good, maybe a little oversaturated, but it is good anyway.

Cheers

Hi Sabyasachi, I like the composition of this photo. Nice touch with the horse relexing behind some skycrapers.

keribar (43841) 2006-10-16 13:05

Hello Sabyasachi

Not exactly what we may expect when we think about your hometown, Kolkata, but as a picture it is a great one. Very unexpected subject with the horse and the business district and the pretty puffy clouds but also with a great light. Many thanks - Izzet

I was in Kolkata almost 2 years ago., in December 2004 and it was very very cold. I felt the Tsunami earthquake while being there.

dolin (7369) 2006-10-26 10:58

Hi Sabyasachi
Very strange, these 3 clounds on the 3 buldings....excellent.
The horse in the forground give a excellent contrast, to different places, very interesting.
I like the hot tonality of the tones.
Good one
Fred

Hi Sabyasachi !

Thank you for letting me discover your gallery!
You are an artist :-)

Perfect work this one...
I like the contrast between those big palaces in your city and the quiet horse eating his grass.

When I think 'It's Portrait Time" I mean 'It's Sabyasachi Time".
Oh, man! One of the most charming horses' portrait I had the pleasure to see... Ever.
OK... OK... I won't mention those incredibly saturated colors, of which recipe you will take with you to your grave, my friend.
No, I won't mention those sparking lights in every one of your beauties, which secrets you will take....
No! I'm talking just about the portrait of the horse in the outskirts of Kolkata, India, somewhere in the vast Asian continent.
Stay great as you are, pal.
You make this world a better place to live.
Oh, well... At least much brighter place to live (:-)))

HAGDay, Sabyasachi.
Stay cool.

this is such an untypical view from India that the originality itself dererves the praise. neither the architecture nor the horse is what we asociate with India, still what you're shpwing is as true as temples, to tell the truth this reminds me of a Polish landscape:-) fantastic colour treatment, it came out so strong and poster-like. great idea.
best regards
A.

Hi Sabyasachi,
Beautiful light shining on the lovely horse grazing against the city skyline that leads to a stunning blue and white sky.
