The Earthquake
The Earthquake that hit Padang on the 30th September of 2009, with the strength of 7.8 on the richter scale which snatched over 3000 souls. This was taken moments after the quake. I would like to personally thank Sukhvinder Sidhu, who is also a member of 1x, whom without, this would be impossible. I would also like to thank 1x, the world's most prestigious photographic community, for recognizing our immense effort and endless passion for photography. We went through so much to get this far. Thank you Sukhvinder, and thank you 1x.

Best regards,
Prabh Joth Singh

Great shot, but the HDR type look doesn't do it any favours.
Prabh Joth Singh  This shot was taken while we were practically running and searching for a place to seek refuge, so the detail of the car could have only be saved by HDR.

An excellent shot of the drama over there, like JZB wrote, you made a artistic picture of it. I hope there was nobody in the car?
Gr Eric
Prabh Joth Singh  I thought of making this shot that states both emotion, and art, and thankfully, there was no one in the car...the lucky man and his whole family got out in time. Thank you for your opinion.

This is an amazing shot but I have to say that your PT makes it more artistic than dramatic. Anyway, composition is excellent.
Prabh Joth Singh  Thank you for your opinion JZB. I tried to make both ends meet though.
