Meditative


Meditation: is it getting into a trance, or concentrating on an activity, like reading, painting, or processing accumulated experiences. Is it transcendental, or simply terrestrial; practical, or floating in clouds.

Or, as an over-simplification, at least in relation to the picture above, is it composing, fiddling with technicalities, and then just clicking a camera.

Having stated all this, now I had better meditate on whether the picture is meritorious, or deserving of anyone's attention. Any help would be helpful.

i dont know why you chose that title but what i noticed was that each of the three natural light sources, one of them not in the frame lead to areas of darkness rather than the more expected darkness unto light progression. as if light is preparing to meditate. And here the kadappa stones bestow such a spartan look. Same stones exude luxury in the pool side study. Kamaal hai. And the unsteady edges of the stone so well compliment the precise vertical lines of the door frames, the wall and the tiled wall pattern in the foreground. 

And the human silhouette... its like you dropped it in to a pool of light but ensured that not a beam of light would hinder its meditation. 

a very singular powerful composition.

thank you.
