I love when human architecture blends with nature in a unique and beautiful way. It’s hard to find a place that can illustrate it better than the state of Goa. I’ve always been fascinated by locations that include indoor and outdoor lighting. This was one of the Locations that I think screamed to be shot. I’m always challenging myself in terms of processing HDR like lately trying to get into manual blending of the images to see the Image differently
So while I was on visit to Goa in Haathi Mahal Hotel (which is covered with lot of idols of Ganesha and hence the name), standing near this idol, I couldn’t help but admire the multitude of color from the above and shapes blending beautifully with the outdoor light. I tried my best to create what i could.
