About The wall is a that of a very common earthen hut found in abundance in West Bengal. This year, it rained a lot in the monsoon, which washed away the 'polish' that people put on using tar, molasses, alluvial soil and cow dung. The busy pattern resulted.

Dear Bijitda,
Ok!
Now I am a little more enlightened on how the composition is made and why, with your explanation and Sandip’s comment. While I was thinking the "window" as a subject and the wall and patterns as a supporting environment/perspective, you were more interested in getting the pattern (subject as a whole) and the "window" as an object to break the monotony of the pattern! I think these two ideas are completely opposite.

The way I cropped it is solely based on the assumption that I want to look through the window, and I completely agree that it lost a lot of details, but still that was what I came up with.

A description like "no rules followed" made this one even difficult to do anything with it, kinda unique. Once again, if you want to break the monotony, you generally don't put the object right in the middle as seen here, but now that you made this, it is more difficult to change anything because it suits better with the pattern. I would like to say.....sometimes its good not to follow what’s written, follow your heart.
I have done enough nonsense, so please galmondo korben na!
Bhabesh

Sandip, perfect explanation. I liked the idea that you have mooted. Wish me better luck next time when I shoot something similar - so that I can try out one of these. Thanks once again, for putting so much thought into the evaluation.

Yeah i knew .. you would say that .. actually just before submitting my cropped version .. i saw bhabesh's one which leaves space in right ...

1. Yes .. I agree with you on the point of space loss .. yes .. that's why i told that .. i was not happy with any sort of cropping ...

2. No .. I won't have kept space in right .. that's conventional and may be following good composition rules ... but i felt the mood did not want us to look through the window .. i saw the pic .. from left .. with the window and the shadow on it depicting something unknown ... it won't allow me to enter its space directly ... rather it would tell me to look beyond more right .. too say something ...

in a nutshell .. in the version with left crop .. i'm asked too look through the window .. in the one i did (badly) .. i tried to protray the window as a character ... which is looking outside to the right .. but it is bound and static ... and its vision should relate more to fantasy and less to real world .. the tree shadow allures it to that unseen world... may be it comes from your earlier pic with the boy .. same notion of bondage may be carried over here ..

i'm not good at explaining .. sorry ..

Arijit, thanks for your comments and thoughts. I appreciate the ideas. However, on the angle correction that you have suggested, I actually wanted to capture it from an unusual angle, so that is part of the experiment. I agree that changing the angle might have resulted in a different photo, better or worse, we dont know now. Tighter crop would also mean I lose a major part of the mud-straw pattern, which is the key of this photo to me. Sandip and Bhabesh has uploaded two tighter crops - so you can compare with them and see if what I say above makes sense?

Sandip, once again, isn't the breething space lost? Also, if the window is facing right, if I have to leave space, shouldn't it be on the right?

Bijit Bose   {K:5871} 10/18/2006
Bhabesh, thanks for taking the initiative and spending time on it. I like your crop. But I also feel the breething space is lost in the process. Also, the patterns is what I wanted to highlight, while the window is just an object to break the pattern so that one gets more interest in it.

Nice shot with beautiful patterns. However, i would have liked a bit more cropping to emphasize the shoadows with the patterns forming an excellent bg. Nice angle though, not usuallu seen.
