Great image, nice composition and love the colour.

Thanks, I know it is a bit saturated but I liked this version best.

[Shadowman]

Nice capture.

Magnificent; which part of India is this ?

Awesome shot, Sam. I like the high level of saturation. That's how my mind would remember such a morning.

Nandakumar, "indian summer" in the USA is what we call it when we get a last blast of warm, dry weather in the fall. I'm not sure where the term came from but am fairly sure that the "indian" part of it is somehow in reference to Native Americans who were historically referred to as Indians.

Wonderful composition; great leading lines. This light must have been difficult to control and you made an excellent job of it.

That's well handled and it's a nice composition as well. Saturation is spot on for me. It may not be quite what it was at the time but what is important is what it conveys. You learn something every day here. Had I been asked, I would have guessed the phrase "Indian Summer" originated from the days of the British Raj. I would have been quite wrong:
