That is the sad part, I did not get a chance yet to go around with my D90.
I really miss a tele zoom lens now. Can't reach anywhere with my 105mm kit lens. I sat on terrace today praying for any bird to come close for my shot. All that I got is in first pic.
However I am impressed with the overall result I get out of this camera.

If you can give love and get love, you are the richest, thats what this homeless couple had to say.

One of the best in this thread.

@TG
Thanks
Really nice shot and a caption well written.

@TG: Beautiful story and capture.

The following phot was shot at Gulmarg at the second stop before the peak of the cable-car (Gondola) journey. This is at 8,300ft above sea-level at the Kongdoori station! Gulmarg boasts of Asia's highest Gondola journey with the final stop ending near the peak of Afarwat at 12,200ft!

I was standing in the restaurant while taking this shot and the almost desolation of the place inspite of tourists is perfectly captured here. Kashmir is truly Paradise on earth.

The restaurant to nowhere

@dpayne: Amazing landscape. What did you have from the restaurant by the way? Or what is available there?

@TG: This is definitely a winner. One of the best I've seen lately.

I think the bottles do balance the composition.

Torqueguru · 2nd July 2009, 14:45

@jkdas
I wanted the bottle to be there, It was 100% deliberately composed. I feel it is vital to the composition there. No cropping done on the pic as well
