Madenur Dam was constructed before its mighty cousin, Linganamakki Dam was built. After the completion of the Linganamakki Dam, this dam got submerged. This dam is a engineering marvel, constructed using clay, jaggery and limestone, the dam is still intact even after almost 70 years!!
All comments are welcome. Please be critical, I love to know what I can improve

A nice view of the dam, Prashanth. Quite the engineering feat and a testament to the builders skills.

Good morning, Prashanth...
Your narrative seems to have an extra dam in there. You said, "...the Linganamakki Dam it dam got submerged." I wasn't sure if you were trying to say "damn dam" or "damn near got submerged".
Great photo of the dam. It seems a little flat to me although if you want to see flat, take a look at my latest posting. Anyway, I might suggest a click or two of contrast. Also you have a bunch of negative space on the bottom with the foreground of all that water AND quite a bit of negative space with a less than dramatic sky. The horizontal ribbon in the middle has all the good stuff. If this was my posting, I might have got rid of half the sky, half the water, and then cropped a little off the left and even more off the right. That's what you get for asking.

My mistake Dorothy, I might have added that extra Dam out of Damn hurry ;)

If "Ignorance is bliss", why should we seek knowledge?
A panoramic view might be better with this scene, Prashant. The subject is not good for this aspect ratio. Clear and sharp image. Thanks for your great narrative.

Talk about an interesting history of how this dam was built. A great photo.

"Hurry to meet Death before your place is taken."
Dorothy makes a good suggestion to crop sky 'or' water. It will draw more emphasis to the dam itself. It is good if you can keep the horizon 1/3 of the way up or down in the image. A crop from either side works too. Don't be afraid to lose something from the image. I am like thatin not wanting to give up anything. I want people to see everything I saw, but it is too distracting to see it all when it is in a frame, so we have to draw attention to the subject as much as we can by cropping what is not necessary. Other than that, the shot is at a good angle and the colors and detail are really good.

Good suggestions from Dots, so I will just say...nice shot of the dam. The clarity is really good.

If the sky and water were a deeper colors, then this scene would be a perfect 10 in my book. With the colors being what they are, I agree with the cropping suggestions. Nice photo though.
