Contrary to others, I like all except the one with shoes.

I think because being a newbie, I've not reached the level yet to appreciate the shoes pic.

no additional montaging of another photo..same photo! lied on my back for almost an hour and shooting almost fifty shots to get the right one and the right angle... burning and dodging of the sky in PS....

thanks guys for the encouragement!! currently working on another series..will post as soon as i am satisfied!!

[behyx]

all are very impressive!
especially the 1st one.

the one taken on the rooftop of esplanade will (IMHO) looks better if there is a model.

I am curious about the bird pic, how the cloud nicely provide a background for the bird. PS'ed? Coincidence? .... Anticipation!?

Nice series btw, like the basket-ball hoops(?) especially.

well..if you are talking about the cloud pattern..it originally there....

if you noticed...all my pics have clouds "interacting" with the archi that i shoot..so that is what i am always looking out for..the symbiotic relationship between man and nature..

if you are talking about the halo around the bird? yes..its PSed....the clouds behind are already there..i just made them more obvious or darker by burning the clouds in manually....

Hi, great shots you have there. May I know what camera and lens you used for those shots? Thanks.
