This was shot today in the Chorla Ghats. Had a great trip in terms of photography but ended badly with my car being broken into and a lot of stuff being stolen including my Blackberry. Thankfully my photo equipment was safe with me on my person.

Anyway, here's to cheering up :)
Hope you like this one. More stuff on their way after a long hiatus.

Nice shot. Nice composition with the horizontal branch. If you could have somehow avoided the OOF BG branch, it would have been even better. I like the wet look.
TFS. It's a good thing nothing happened to your photo gear. look forward to more images from Chorla Ghat.

I like the wet look. I am not sure how you could have avoided the out of focus branch.

Sad to hear about the car break in. Look forward to more images.

Cheers,

Bibhav the Chorla Ghat roads were in a bad shape when I visited last, this place is very close to my home Belgaum. You need to be extra careful and drive thru that route only if the road work is completed.

As mentioned the wet look gives a nice monsoon feel to the image. The CSE is quite huge.

Hi Tushar. I had a great trip inspite of all the mishaps. The theft happened near the Mhadei Plateau, where I had parked my car and gone for a trek with Krishna and my Uncle.
