One more of my shots from my time in Belgium (2003-2004). Scanned image actually, so the image quality is not that good.

Keukenhof Reds


KeukReds, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

Its an scanned image, and therefore not so sharp anymore. But, I love the complete/total red color that oozes out of the flower petals.

Some might say that the red channel is overblown, but I beg to differ.

Saxophone player



Since it was a shot from a normal Minolta SLR, the digital version is a scanned copy given to my by the photo developing shop. I found it very interesting to see what digital alterations have done to the original scanned image. Specially the color balance, saturations.. And some cropping too...

Remarks pls...

A content Musician



I find the contentment in the instrument player phenomenal. A review request I posted on Photo.net, people suggested that an angled view would have been better. Though I respect the views, since it was an spontaneous shot, I did not really got a chance to shoot another one.

Red hot tulip...



I am not convinced about the level of redness this particular flower should have, but I still like the shot somewhere.
To me, it feels like the flower is of color fire-red... comments ?

A gentleman (Matt Simpson) suggested on dpreview that I could have processed the image as posted here, with which I absolutely agree. Reduced noise and cropping have brought the image in much more prominence.

Light rays from behind the clouds...




Found this in my old image collection (which I am reviewing these days). Immediately liked it and thought of sharing... I have to admit, its not the cleanest images, a situation shared by many of my old Minolta photographs.

Walking Trail...

Is it only me, or someone else also sees a column of light descending from skies into the far away end-point of the walking trail. Doesnt it look like the people are walking into oblivion...

Colors of autumn...

I specially like the different shades of green and red intermixed yet visibly present.

By the side of Lake Zurich, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

Taken sometime in 2005 Dec, using my old Minolta Analog SLR (that should explain the grainy image quality). :(

However, I like the look of the photograph as it is, gives me a vintage painting like feeling.

Forest of Tulips...


Flowers_field, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

This one give me a feel that I m standing in front of a huge wall of Tulips. Though George said its not as sharp as he would want it to be, but then he always says that for all my photographs...

Sometime I wonder if he's actually telling the truth... !!!

Children Park


Snow_Park, originally uploaded by s_raghu20.

One of my all time favourites. I like this one for the feeling that it gives away. whether its a painting or a photograph ?

And also, all the snow has given the whole scenery a sad kind of feeling. That adds to the effect.

Isnt that striking ?

I find this one very interesting.

Primarily for the background that almost completely dark. And therefor the flower kind of stands out. The colors have come out pretty nice as well.
