@kjuvale: how did u get the effect in your last pic...with only the flag to be colored and rest black n white??

nice shots man!!!

 

[sujoyp]

@nac u missed the focus on that bug..
That farm is nice
but last pic again not focussed properly it seems

@abhidev its called selective coloring u can do it with Photoshop or gimp

Kapil: 1st is a fantastic shot. Shadows are really creating the drama there. 3rd is also good.

Cropping could have been better. Its giving a feel that its chopped heavily from top or bottom.

Thanks Sujoy...

I was checking what could be the reason for lack of focus. The last one could be because of slow shutter speed or camera couldn't get the right focus in low light (sun was yet rise and there was some fog). But I am not sure about the bug shot.

Thanks for pointing out.

@im2k and @nac thanks

@nac Nice captures and wonderful colours. Have you used 'vivid green' green snaps? The colour shades in the tree snap is amazing.


Today's capture. The sky seemed quite a canvas today....

Skr,
Wonderful shots... Kudos to you... I like bottom 4 photos and 2nd one is the best.

 

[sujoyp]

@skr your parrots r nice...

@toofan/vimal I didnt knew we can take such nice shots with 50mm maybe lack of autofocus is the reason..
I liked the 4th one most

 

[kjuvale]

@all : thanks for comments
@Abhidev: I used Lightroom for selctive colouring, you can take down saturation of other colours and keep required one as it is.
@skr: parrot shots are nice
@Vimal: last beach shot is cropped (from bottom) here is original (still slightly cropped from sides)one and yes nice portraits. Can you tell what aperture you used here.

[a_medico]

@kapil - could you please list the steps in lightroom for selective coloring? I have lightroom3. recently installed. Currently use it just of image contrast / saturation adjustment.

 

[toofan]

Kapil: Now this is looking more better. you can Crop the images to give them a wider feel but not too much.

I had used 50mm lens @ f-4. Exact Exif you will find in Flickr. or just download the image and check the detailed properties.

Nac: 1st one of setting sun is nicely composed.
