Comments: The creative angle makes me say wow !  If this picture would have been taken in a regular way from the side i am very sure it wouldn’t have  created  a lasting impression in the minds of the viewers. Also the current angle adds an incredible perspective to the whole image. The sky makes a neat background. It was a great idea to go this low Riddhi !!

Vinit Bhatt Befriended photography almost a year and a half back and since then there is no looking back. He has vigorously practiced outdoor shooting, visited various cities, captured the essence of festivals, shot on streets and a lot more. His pictures are very communicative. His images leave a deep impact in the heart.

Comments: This image is shot at a railway station bridge. Obviously using slow shutter speed gives a fantastic result. His focus has been carefully set on the poor man sleeping in the centre of a crowded stairway of the railway station. This image brings out the misery of the homeless people. Also this image moves you in a very deep manner.

Vinit has truly managed to capture the essence of the situation !

“Shari shooter of the month MEHA B PANDYA

Congratulations MEHA !!! You have been chosen as the SHARI SHOOTER OF THE MONTH

Vintage

Comments: This is your best pic Meha !! It has a very classy feel to it. This picture looks like a beautiful painting and every viewer can interpret it in its own way. Technically it is composed very well. The car is exactly in the thirds. The choice of black and white conversion is good. The whole car entwined between the branches looks aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Obviously the title goes perfectly with the frame.
No 1 pic of the Series, Keep up the great work !!
