This photograph was shot at Rheinfalls, an hour north of Zurich in Switzerland. This wheel was probably used in pre-industrial era to fetch water from a well or river.
I liked the mood of this one; and also the angle, the framing and the background. The white board in the top-left corner does seem out of place but it was a great spot to put my signature!
I shot this snap in Sepia. The reason I put up this snap on the blog is to get feedback or any pointers on when to use Sepia and when not to. Almost any snap that I take in Sepia; it always looks better when I desturate it and turn in into B&W. It was no different with this one – I post-processed the photo and made it B&W – and that looked better than the one you are seeing here.
Any links to Sepia-flavored snaps which you have taken are greatly appreciated!

Hi Kiran,
This is awesome photo.
Sepia tones have an advantage over color or black and white photography when it comes to framing. While a black and white picture looks out of place in a wood frame, the brown scale that characterizes sepia tone matches many different shades of wood…Sepia brings nostalgic feel. so I think sepia was the good selection for the above subject of the shot.
I think below link will help you get more info on Sepia v/s black white.

Thank you,
