A word of caution. The rules are very stringent. No cloning or cropping to remove distractions like branch, animal, parts of animal etc. Cloning is allowed to remove dust spots only.

Please don't call me Sir. People who are Knighted by the Queen of England are supposed to be addressed as Sir. Neither I am going to be Knighted in the near future, nor am I inclined to show my allegiance to the queen. :D

Also, I don't prefer being called Saby. Sabyasachi will be just fine. :D

There are some images in BBC that are inspiring and generate awe. The standard is very high. Watching good images is a learning in itself. Have fun.

Cheers,
