amazing shot. But the wall is a bit too saturated, I think, and makes it a little too unnatural.

Dear Vodkamax,

Do you sell your photos? Because I would like to buy this one for commercial use. I am a graphic designer by profession and would like to use this photograph in one of the websites that I am designing.

Can you please write to me back on studio_ananya@yahoo.co.in regarding the same, as soon as possible?

Thanks in advance.

kind regards,
Asavari.
