Peeping into the well!

C & C welcome

Nice concept.

The image really intrigues me Ashish.
The round shape bottom right of image, is it the head of someone passing through?
I like it but not sure what to make of it, very abstract.
Nice work

I take it we are looking upwards with this shot.

I wonder if it looks better (or more natural) in colour? And would some other crops be worth a bit of experimentation?

It is almost working, but something seems to be lacking for me.

I like the concept, Ashish, and people are asking questions about it, so it is obviously working well. I assumed we are looking down into the well, and the bottom is a reflection? I think if it were in colour this ambiguity might be lost.

[ashish]

Apologies for the delayed reply. I was travelling. Thank you all for taking time out to comment!

Nice concept.

Thanks John!

That round shape at the bottom right is the reflection of my head looking into the well as i was trying to click this!

[gregj1763]

Yep. Worked that out after looking at the image longer

Actually, it is a shot taken looking down into the well... the foliage that you see is a reflection of the trees above me in the still water of the well. The white line that you see on the right is the level of water in the well and what's 'below' is the reflection. The white leaf on the right side of the image are on the wall of the well. Hope this makes sense

Thanks Greg. I wanted to give it an abstract look and hence chose B/W. The colour version was looking rather mundane.

[ashish]

Here is the colour version.

Looks better to me in colour because that shows some good colour and texture.

I would crop tighter from the top though. Possibly end up with 3 x 2 ratio?

Hmmm... Something like this?

[Geoff F]

I was thinking along fractionally different lines, Ashish.
