Hi Kurienkoshy,

I've seen a lot of images from you on these forums, but you don't get many replies - so I thought I would provide some feedback for you. Please bear in mind - these are just my views, and I mean no offence

You live in an amazing place, and have access to some awesome subjects. I've looked at your site and seen a lot of excellent shots. However, the ones I've seen from you on here often feel like they're lacking. I have a feeling that this is mainly to do with the sunlight you have over there. It's very intense I imagine! This leaves the shots you often post on here lacking in contrast, and the colours are quite desaturated, making them a little dull and lifeless.

I took the liberty of locating the above shot on your site and applied some contrast and saturation, to demonstrate where I'm coming from: http://i.min.us/ilaW.jpg - they're just some very quick edits. I also wonder if the black border you use might add to the problem - the borderless images on your site tend to look much better.

Anyway, I hope you continue to post some of your other images - you've got some fantastic ones!
