Now this photograph is worthy of being featured as an advertisement in my book! Great lens work there, Torqueguru!

We'd love to see some more from your side!

Fantastic, as always.

Shot this long time back near Ponmudi.

TG, dont know why, but i prefer the original.

Nice shot.

@TG the processed image looks impressive. Again I feel that the overall image is a bit warmer than it should be. The sky looks a bit yellowish. I don't know whether it is intentional or the color calibration of your monitor. Just my two paisa

EDIT: Saw your post in theme photography thread, I have replied there.. not sure whether this is the issue but HTH.

@clevermax
It is 100% intentional, the warmth that is. I will reply to the other post soon.

In these kind of situations there's nothing wrong or right. Yes, that sky is looking yellowish and it well could be his intention.

My only issue with that shot is with net on the back. It's looking abnormal especially after removing all those poles. Mukul, don't be lazy and remove that net asap.

@ praful. Very nice shot. Seen your Flikr pages too. Very good captures there.

That's a great snap!

OT: That Swift looks great! Love the colour and the subtle modifications on it!

I feel like the overall effect is quite dull, since the car is a dark colour - its not popping into the foreground at all.
The patch of light sky at the right is a bit distracting as well.
This one didn't quite have the TG flair that all your other pictures have IMO.

Thanks for all the critique guys.

@Rudra
Removing the net in post, phew...i just could not manage to take the car inside the compound. Ideally I should have done that.
When I have some time at hand, i will surely attempt to take off the net!

#Rehaan
The overall effect is looking dull on TBHP, but on flickr its looking fine. I think it is a colorspace issue. I always used Adobe RGB, but never had this issue before.
