All are well done, but the 2nd is outstanding.

Good series. My favourite is #1, the golden light is really nice.

I love the second one with the first being close. The last one is more abstract.

A fine set. And thanks for including the explanation on your blog. I will now start looking at mud cracks quite differently.

The first is the one that stands out for me. I love the redness in the cracks.

Yes. Interesting photos and exposition.

A wonderful set, Rajan, and I really appreciate the description of their formation on your blog. I'm also a little partial to the second, if I had to pick just one.

Beautiful, Rajan! My favorite is number 2. Somehow you made those shapes "flow", if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing!

I know what you mean, I think many of us wrestle with that. For what it's worth, I understand that your acknowledgement extends to us later commentators, too.

Rajan,

I've looked this set off and on for the past day or so,... and #2 is my favourite. Today I just "saw" a human figure ( looking left,... arms out stretched,... ) with the brown weed (brush) on the figures "chest".  For me it adds a most surprising element to your image. Not sure if you planned the composition with that in mind,... but wow.

cheers, Leszek

Leszek,

Thank you. No, I did not 'see' the figure you see. I'll take a closer look now. What came to my mind are Feynman diagrams when I saw the wiggles.

David & Adhika - thanks.

I go away for 6 months and you still post nothing but spectacular images even in the abstract. Sometimes I'm jealous, other times I'm inspired, and other times I just know how much work you must put in. Well done mate.

I suspect that there are really three Rajan Parrikars, who are identical triplet brothers, all with the same name. They all share the same LuLa membership. The only way you can tell them apart is that one lives in Goa, India, where they were all born; another lives in California; and the third lives and works in Iceland.

I'm pretty sure the "geometry in Clay" images were shot by the California Rajan.   ;)

Really fine set. Love the subject matter and how it was presented. They have life.
