Friends
This is Mangeshwar Temple in Goa, i have converted it in to black and white and worked on tones. I have pulled up tones in the sky and adjusted light on different levels. Its totaly a new experiment from me on black and white tone. :) i wanted to give a dramatic look to the sky.

regards
Manuj Mehta

Hello, Manuj -
You demonstrate your versatility here - this is a fine architectural image with a great POV to show off its marvelous details. Interesting mottled sky background. Great range of b&w tones. Very nice work.

I see western influence in this Goa temple architecture. The composition is attractive Manuj. There is fine contrast, sharpness, and texture. Greetings!
Danilo

Hi Manuj,

This is something different from you the building looks a little anglicized imo. The pov is very good seeing in colour would have been nice though, the details are nice and sharp nice tones and textures.

Regards
Jon

Hi dear Manuj...

This image immediately caught my eye, different subject and absolutely a grandiose one..
The B/W conversion suits the mood and your note perfectly here, this marvelous temple and the defined sharp details on the architecture and the intense tones in the sky, this authentic atmosphere, all seems so remarkable and nicely composed in this image.. terrific work…


Best wishes

dear Manuj Mehta,
an interesting picture of your experimental,
the sky looks different layer from the temple and woods,
it is unnatural actually, but another point of feeling, it is surrealistic, its effect makes the temple vivid and mysterious.
in my feeling, a little anxious mood covers whole image, it is not bad but expresses one real air, that is hidden in common view.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

This is a beautiful presentation and the B&W adds timeless value to it. Love the HDR effect of the dark clouds and the composition is just perfect. Thanks for sharing,

cheers,

Hello Manuj
Thats a nice change in ur gallery, beautiful architecture u've shared here. I've seen Goa in movies only n have a strong will to visit (if i ever able to manage it)

Nice B&W tones here composition is good aswell.
May be a little improvement in PP work?? (The layers of sky and temple are not perfectly masked)
A little whites can be burned aswell just my personal opinion :)

Have a great day
take care

Regards,
JZM

Hi Manuj

Hi Manuj,

Good to see you have done some thing new, but In my opinion your lens is not wide enough to take the complete building, it seems that this is a very nice place to see, not happy with the sky, it will be better if you transferred it in b&w but not to change the sky tones.

wow really cool shot nice temple very detailed structural design very good angle. Nicely presented
