Monsoon Magic: Amboli

Nestled in the laps of the mighty Sahyadri, there is a tiny village called Amboli. Truly a heaven on earth, Amboli village is in the Junnar taluka of Pune district. It is the base of the Durg-Dhakoba forts and the Darya Ghat. I visited this place as part of the mega monsoon shoot of the Photographers@Pune. The photos will give the rest of the description of the beauty of the place.

Expressions

I thought of doing this experiment of bringing together as many human expressions as possible in a single photo. I was waiting for the right person or rather a face on whom I would do my experiment. The person had to be talented enough to enact all the expressions in a single sitting and also be patient enough to do the retakes and adjustments for that perfect photo. I thank my dear friend Priyanka for bailing me out on this and volunteer for the job.  Here I present to you the photographs of various expressions of a human face. 
It is rightly said that the eyes speaks it all. Our eyes play an important role in our expressions, which can be noticed in each of the expressions below. A famous American linguistic Ralph Waldo Emerson once said

An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy.... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.  "
