[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have never tried my hands on this type of photography. This is my first attampt of posting a landscape shot.

The work of Bob Shanon inspired me to try this.His gallery is full of great landscapes of wilderness.

My visit to the forest in the weekend provided me the opportunity and i took this shot of the wilderness. this place is at Gomada Reserve forest of Chattisgarh.

This shot has been taken with sigma 70/300, handheld. The image has been resized and framed.

Hi Pankaj,
very nice to see you dip a toe in to landscapes...do i see a change in direction for you here? I hope so, becuase this is great. The light, the clever composition and use of the reflection are all great. Nice framing too....hope to see more, well done.
Paul

Hello Pankaj,
What a lovely landscape! Looking at this I can't believe this is your first attempt.You have perfectly captured the mood, colours, reflections an light in the forest in a beautiful frame. Looking forward to more of your landscapes,
Smitha.

Hello Pankaj,
This is a great capture of the rain forest, showing the typical details very well!
Impressive trees, where the foliage filters the sunlight, creating life in the frame and a fine feeling of depth!
Greetings,
Pablo -

I love it...You are a man of honour and for this I salute. A first attempt eh? Well boy oh boy are you in for some fun. It is a grand image and if I had not lived in this location , in this body, I would have thought it was something I would have done.
Wow...now this is what makes TN all of what it is about. I learn from you, you learn from me...and so on it goes...amazing...truly amazing..

Hello Pankaj.

Excellent picure, nice conposition and reflections.

Regards.
jose Luis.

Hi Pankaj!

Keep on, Pankaj, keep on! A very good first try, and I'm glad to see that you try something new! Maybe I'll try a butterfly one day... I'm lucky it's winter now here! :-)

For your first try you have chosen a very difficult subject because of the various lighting conditions. But you have managed it very well! The composition is perfect, the picture reflects the reality of a rain forest in true manner.

I'm looking forward to seeing other landscapes from you.

Kind regards

Markus

First attempt?! Well it is a fantastic shot for your first try.
IMHO I've seen proffesional landscape shots that aren't as good as this!
The composition is great and I love the reflections.
We get a real sense of the temperature and environment of this place.
I love the light streaming through onto the water.
Lovely colours aswell.
Very well done Pankaj and it's great to see you try different types of photography :D
Cheers,
Joe

Hello Pankaj,
Pretty good landscape/habitat shot, especially if it is the first time. The exposure showing different shafts of light in the forest is excellent and the water in the FG is just what one sees in forest waters: perfect stillness and the dust of dried broken-down forest material on the surface.
Well done and TFS!
Ivan

Hi pankaj,
The reflections are amazing and the colors and the details in the shadows indicate that the exposure was spot on :-) congrats.

Hello Pankaj

A beautiful image with excellent lighting and reflections.
The focus is sharp and the details are well defined.
The placid water makes a great mirror for the forest.
The colours are rich and well saturated.
I can almost hear the birds and insects singing.
TFS

Something unusual from you, but I like the atmosphere you transmit with this picture. Not easy to make photos with this kind of light! Wonderful reflections in the water. Well seen.
Thanks and best regards

WOW Pankaj!

This is a extraordinarily pretty and cool landscape shot.
The reflection in the water from the trees is beautiful.
It is also great the way you have captured the sunlight streaming through onto the water.
Also the frame gives a good effect.

Thanks for sharing,
Ruby :)
