The 1st shot is the original shot, its cropped from a bigger picture...
The other pictures are some edits from the new Adobe Lightroom 1.0 (Launched today), which I must say is a brilliant tool for all photographers...
PS: I don't do any editing to any of my photos just a few touches and some cropping here and there.

"The Painting..."

I've called this post "The Painting" for a reason. A lot of people look at this picture and think that its a photo of a painting. This shot was taken at my friend's house long time back, the lighting grabbed my attention so I just snapped it.
Anyways hope u enjoy this post...

PS: Excuse the quality of this picture, it's of very low quality and has alot of noise in it.

The Bird picking up Emirates Towers

Was lucky with this picture, the timing and the result were both good.
Although one problem is that I didn't have my camera on that day and had to take the pictures with my Nokia N73. (3.2 mega pixel)

Here the bird with Emirates Towers in the back drop

Took a few shots of this guy and this turned out to be the best 1. He was actually modeling.

Where is the light...

I just love the lanterns @ Madinat Jumeira...
Their light is soft but at the same time give such an amazing ambiance to the whole place
