Back in Jan, I spent a few days with my family in a supremely beautiful tea plantation in Kerala - south of India. No picture can capture the beauty of the place - this is just an attempt

I like the warm light Arnab and composition you have chosen. A wonderful tapestry of color.

A pretty good attempt if you ask me Arnab! This is beautiful and you have found a super composition with the winding track, the folded hills and then the plants in the f/g - gorgeous light too. Kerela is somewhere I very much want to go one day and this only strengthens that wish.

I really like the curve of the road and the soft shapes of the hills. Very nice!

I love the interesting pattern and texture in the tea plants on the various slopes. I almost don't even want to bother looking up the sparsely treed ridge line and the rest of the top of the photo.

I'd say this one does well at capturing the beauty. Those greens are glorious and that curving road is so attractive and then you see the lovely light on the far hilside. WOW!

This is gorgeous Arnab! You have captured the quintessential beauty of Kerela's tea plantations. The composition is fabulous!

If I had to nit pick, I'd say this seems a tad over saturated.
