Exactly, Indranil. This is the best method to follow. You try this, you try that, see the results, compare, and so on. If one takes time to understand why the results are as they are, then one can go on for approaching the own style. and the way to it is itself very interesting too.
Cheers!

Thank you very much. Great detail thoughts and descriptions Nick. I really appriciate your thinking, very mature. Exatly, rules breaking is itself a rule and then rule of thumb to follow. Always experimental thinkings may work or may not but I believe trying different and experimental is very important for a creative person to built his own stylization.
Best Regards!

I am glad of you it looked better to you, Indranil! And thanks a lot for the info on the making. Sepia many times seems to add something "documentary" to the atmosphere of the image. This way ine of those times, definitely.
About "rules"... well, the statament "rules are for breaking them" is itself a "rule", ey? And as it is also a rule of *thumb* it is to be followed (or also broken!) by conscious mind. That is, all those "rules", like the thirds, etc, are not only made "at free will" of some "despotic" photographers with a "big name". They are the distilled "synopsis" of what looks as a good composition to our perception apparatus. They are not sharp - and this is exactly what not only allows but really dictates their appliance by good thinking and weighting the whole situation. It is this why many times, like for example here, the rule of thirds can be let aside. Not for the mere breaking but because the unsharpness of the rule itself allows also other approaches.
When should one approach the subject differently? Well... when the moon is orange-green after a rain of buffalos. ;-) Or, more seriously, when breaking the rule of thumb happens in good agreement to some interesting scene as it looks in the viewfinder or screen of the camera. It may work or not work. The conscious mind collects information about that, links the information pieces to each other, generates other rules of thumb, and also exceptions of thumb, questions, things to be examines, and so on. It happens by itself, much like the trial and error method of the brain when a young child learns going. And the results are carefully stored in mind, in such a way that what we call "experience" grows, and what we call "skill" gets cultivated.
One can name it "accumulated wisdom" as the time passes by. Let's get as much as possible of that stuff.
Hmmm... thoughts on a Wednesday afternoon. ;-)
Cheers!
Nick

Thanks a lot Nick. Once again a nice observation and suggestive comments. Agree, it is looking more attractive now after doing the cloning and adjustments.
It was a colour photograph. I changed it to Sepia. I dont believe on any rules and regulation. Rules existing for breaking it, LOL . I believe only on framing and composition. It could come under Rules or No Rules, no matter for me :)
Best Regards!

Very nice details of the building though it is so far in the back, Indranil! And with its white(er) shades it stands completely dominating the scene. Talking about the scene as a result of your composition, I was about to suggest a less centered one, but no! It wirks well in this case, which shows that any rule in photography is only a rule... of thumb! Only the left seems to be a bit "half", "unfinished". I guwss that the presence of those small buildings speaks against the center balance of the whole composition. (Cloned them off on the attachment. What do you think?)
The lighting balance is once agaon just about perfect to me. It adds the tension of strong contrasts without neglecting the subtle intermediate tones. BTW, did you change that to sepia or is that the original?
Cheers!

Now its cool. But can you do something about the contrast. because its still distracting. And I realized one more thing. you dont have to show that much of water body, because you dont have any distinct reflection there. So think about it and re-edit.

Victoria to Victoria sundori hoye gyache go! Nice. Ei Indranil ektu tilt aache go..... right side a. Thik kore nao. Another thing I think the brightness is overdriven by the contrast. Try to lighten up the trees a little bit. I am saying this because my monitor is calibrated with software. Though others will suggest a dark foreground, but this is a bit distracting.....
And thanks for your comments on "My Victoria". :)

The dark at the f/g works very well to display this beauty of architecture. The name suggests it is british heritage .. ?
but the side towers display malaysian/indian influence.
A great shot for your exhibition :-)
