Photographer’s Note
It was a fresh morning on train , Previous day afternoon i started from my home for kolkata.I took this snap from a moving train while coming towards kolkata. Almost for 14 hours I was there on the train .this place was nearby Bolpur,Shantiniketan.
RabindraNath Tagore's Viswavarati University is located there.The light was beautiful and perfect with one of Rabindranath's song.. ... Graam Chaaraa Oi Raanga Maatir Poth...
Its about Red Color footprint Road Passing accross the village.A little view of that on the left middle of the frame.

Color is not a part of this mystic shot.
You try the same in b&w also.
A good one from you again.
Posted an workshop in Sepia.

Fatastic framing you have for this, considering the circumstances, and the light is perfect also. A great result.

The mood here looks very beautiful. Great foggy atmosphere with the trees looks great. Wish that the man was placed somewhere else.

what more can i say here: great composition and mood. well captured. your post of this simple landscape on the winter morning look supreme.
maybe, i can translate for our non-Bengali friends
"Graam Chaaraa Oi Raanga Maatir Poth..." would mean
"the road of red soil that leads out from the village"

this is a very beautiful shot! you did great considering that was taken from the train.
I love the position of the man in the hole composition, with that wide landscape in front of him.
The foggy adds to the mystic mood.
Very well done

A very dreamy morning shot, Sandip. The colors and the fog create a wonderful atmosphere. The position of the man is excellent, I wish that you wouldn't have crop his toe. Beautiful.

this is really nice sandip
i love the way the golden rays of the sun are breaking through the fog in the distance
i just think you're a little unlucky not to have something in the middle there.. not that it's really empty but , i think a house in the middle on the left, would nicely take us form the man to the house and then to the tree on the right
maybe the next time....
take care:)

Absoulutely awesome photo. Just the right balancing of light and shadow - a tough thing for all photographers. Great quiet mood you've caught here.

A very nice and moody shot Sandip. The light, the mist and also the reflections in the water contribute to this. Maybe I wished for a little more space under the mans feets but over all a good composition.

Excellent moody misty shot. These pictures when caught at the right moment are just so full of atmosphere. The figures adds to the composition.

Hi Sandip, This is a very nice shot. It likes an impressionist painting in the fog. I am a little surprised to see the clear image of the person considering you took the shot on a moving train.

What a beautiful mood, Sandip.. at the first sight, I thought you converted the pic into sepia tones, but I realize that colors are nothing but natural.. Great moment, thank you for sharing.

Very nice and foggy morning image that reminds one of Abanindranath's water color of his early youth. Nice sunrise mood.
But the 'village' in the distance unfortunately displays the ever-growing chimneys of a brick kiln that has been described in these pages as 'hell on earth'. Without intending to parody Tagore, all such red-dusted roads seem these days to end up in more prosaic places...

Nice moment you have captured here.
I did a workshop trying to cool down some of the colors.

Very nice composition and excellent gradiant in the mist that's perfect here and for the dominating color here I like the greens , maybe the sky could have some differant colortone although this one is already in good harmonie, I will try a WS in search for natural colors.

This is a very beautiful shot. The person on the right adds the final touch, the distant trees in the fog and the framing make this a great landscape!

Hi Sandip, this is a lovely moody shot, the cherry on the cake of course is the man in the picture. Often I like landscapes without any human, but in this moody shot, it's excellent. The composition this way is very nice, that's why I like this one better than 'crosswords', the horizon is placed much better here.
Beautiful capture, Sandip, full of morning atmosphere.

Hi sandip!
Because the feeling of the fog in the morning is beautifully expressed in the gradation,
I think that it is a beautiful color photograph.
It seems that it shuts overall in the point because there is a person in the right.

Hi Sandip,
This picture is beatiful. The rim light on the man add some dramatic to it. Maybe, it is my taste to see the man walk toward the frame.

Well composed Sandip and the light is perfect, it looks so warm but you can see the guy is wrapped up for the chilly morning.

Very nice photo. Great colour. The fog makes this place look mystical. The touch of red is a plus. Nice work. Thanks.

Hi Sandip,
this shot is really beautiful and transmits you peace and calm. The walker in the right corner makes me think of search of something really important which is at last close. Or maybe evokes the same feelings of an epic and joyful happy end of a long story...

I haven't seen this one before my friend - wonderful light - and you're right there are great similarities with my morning river shot.
I was arranging a residency with someone for students to come to work with us from Shantiniketan some years ago but for some reason the links in the chain broke and it didn't happen. We did make a website about Tagore and Nazrul with a Bangladeshi youth and cultural organisation in the UK (Leicester) a year or two ago - here's the link.

I'm by your side while you took that!
I think it's the best for a photo: transmit sensations.
