Radiant Cycas
by Anurag Singhal
It had rained in the morning and the overcast sky provided this lovely diffuse light which imparted this glowing look to the cycas.
Equipment: Nikon D300 18-200 @ 135mm ISO 640

I am a doctor (ENT Surgeon) born 1970. Photography has been my passion since the last twenty years. I like to shoot all kinds of subjects, landscapes, Macro, Family etc. In fact I'll shoot almost anything. Most of my shooting is done while I am travelling on vacation, which I love a lot. or whenever I have the camera in my hand. I am one of those who believe that Photography is as much a fine art as painting is, as opposed to many who view it as more of a documentary medium, only ment to record reality. I am agreat fan of digital and will not hesitate to use Photoshop to the fullest to push the image in my intended direction.
Besides Photography I love music and am an avid Tabla Player (an Indian Percussion Instrument). I also love to listen to Beethoven and sometimes others like Bach and Vivaldi, and, of course Rock music of the 70s and 80s.

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I had this in my yard, but I would venture to guess it would not sustain well in New England!

Nice. Anurag (commenter), this is your photograph, right?
Anurag
Yes a. That’s right, but none of the comments appearing on this page by my name are posted by me. This is due to some mistake.

Beautiful catch. I love the Tabla, it is a very unique drum, full of melodic (sp) rhythms……

Anurag, this is a really nice composition. I love the fronds radiating out into the foreground and the touch of red in them.
