Specific Feedback
I’m pleased to share my image “Face to Face” that has won a ‘certificate of merit’ in the portrait category of DJ Memorial Photography Contest - DJMPC 2024, a national level contest in India.
I’m quite delighted to see an image shot in the year 2007, with my first DSLR Canon EOS 30 D, a crop sensor camera, competing with modern full frame mirrorless cameras… may be, photographer still matters !
Technical Details
Canon 30D; 500 mm f4.5 lens; ISO 400; 1/320 sec. at f 4.5

A stunning image! Many congrats on the big award! The B&W treatment here is perfect, as well as the Lighting and crop .
The photographer will always be key to a great image - cameras are just a tool. They don’t have vision, emotion, or processing skills.
I’m also happy to see that older images, re-worked, are as valid as more current ones on NPN. As we learn and grown in our skills, going back through old files to improve processing is both fun and a good teaching tool - as well as confirming our improvement.
Jagdeep: what a wonderful photo and congratulations on the well deserved award. I love the symmetry you’ve captured as well as rendering of it in BW. Yes, the person pushing the button still matters.
Definitely a winner. Amazing wildlife image with elephant personality, great texture and detail, and composition. Amazing capture - superb presentation. One minor opinion, I would leave off the white frame as my eyes are drawn to it when I want to only relish your award winning fabulous image.
