The camera too:) methinks it can be safely put in black and white now that you are quite amazing with that camera:) Of course, it’s also assumed that ‘Megha’ would always click well with the skies.

It's Usually hard to get the right distribution of light in B & W but you managed to pull off a decent one using PhotoShop. Keep it up.. Nice!

I always did like good B&W pictures. Everything seems so much more simpler and basic. A million shades of color may make a picture attractive and lively...but B&W conveys the message - without all that jazz. Impressive picture. I always did like good B&W pictures.

And I agree with Manjusha here, B&W pics bring a certain charm, that color pictures just cannot bring with them. I guess, its the 'unknown' - the lack of colors, leaving you to imagine what they might be. Yet, for me, the most powerful pictures have always been B&W. And I hope to be clicking a few of my own, within the near future :) Nice Pic. And I agree with Manjusha here, B&W pics bring a certain charm, that color pictures just cannot bring with them.
