Nice photographs!
Keep them coming - What camera & lens was used for these pics?
Were they taken on auto exposure or with manual settings?
Here's a bit of 'gyan' for all photographers.....
"With Auto Exposure you get photographs of what the camera thinks is the right exposure - But when you take photographs with manual settings - You don't take a photograph - You Create One"
For example - For taking pics with manual settings one invariably has to use a light meter - Herein you get a combination of aperture / shutterspeed options - Hence you can create a photograph to express your vision of the image...
End result is you don't take 'say cheese & click' type of of pics - But photogrqaphs that tell a story!
Happy Clicking!

thank you mr.moin .brihaji,i used nikon dslr5100,lens nikkor 70-300mm.as i told the pics are in NEF(RAW)format,when we have to send pics through mail it has to be converted to jpeg format,so is the loss of resolution.if brihaji is interested i can send you a original pics in a memory card .

1. Good! This way you'll create images rather than just shoot a pic
2. That's 'cute'
BTW - What was you American friend's experience like? Must've thoroughly enjoyed this outing!!!!
