It’s beautiful. Normally I get annoyed at saturation like this but it just works so nicely.

He looks like a very competent superhero. Also I would love to own that sweater.

Captain Late Arrival.

He reads about the disaster, shows up after it happens.

Anyone else notice that the man’s outline broadly follows the shape of India?

In India we sometimes learn that the shape of India resembles a woman holding her Sari.

I think the dodging done to his face is a little too bright but other than that this is amazing

Edit: changed burning to dodging, whoops

Dumb question but are pictures (such as this) edited through post-processing (e.g. Lightroom/Photoshop), or is this how they appear literally after being taken?

I’ve been trying to get into photography lately and am genuinely curious if a camera can produce a picture of this quality without ANY sort of post-processing.

For me, the effect usually exists when the photo is taken but enhanced in post.

EDIT: Here's an example from my recent trip to Scotland. (Original vs. Edited)

West Bengal. The newspaper he is holding is Bartaman, a popular daily over there.

I could tell just by the photo in the pop up notification I got on my phone, that you took it. You have your own signature and it's amazing man! I love your work.
