This is really a beautiful photo of Taj Mahal,and I especially like that you presented it in a panorama format. The photo is also unusual because we see the lush green forest as a foreground, so I suppose this is different point of you than we normally see.

It seems to be a kind of haze in the photo, but still I can see that it is nice and sharp, and Taj Mahal is standing out so well against the sky. It is also a lovely light in this photo.

Your photo is nicely framed, and it is a very good balance in the composition. Even the rule of thirds is followed. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo from this famous place, and with a very good DOF.

    You are right. I don't think I read the notes thorough enough this time. LOL

I like this perspective. A welcome change from the frontal view with the reflecting pools. This gives it a less formal look that includes some of the very nice environmental surroundings. Very nice colors and excellent cropping.

Because we are so used to seeing this from the front,which is an awesome view,you can,t help but compare this with that frontal view,feel this is tad bit soft,but giving you five because of what you wrote in this...brian

Comment from Bernadette Ballarin


This is quite beautiful and I'm glad it's not a typical post card image and you see it from a different perspective and angle. There is a slight softness about this which is lovely. It's like you have put a glaze over the Taj Mahal which created a mist or fog. The foreground colouring is crisp in places and soft in others, it really works a treat. Thank you for showing this gorgeous piece of work.

It is always nice to see alternate approaches. This really is a beautiful shot of an all time favourite subject matter.The colours and the light appear mystic. Finely composed and timed this makes interesting viewing!

Comment from paulah


i am very partial to this work of art, and discard acquaintances who declare it's not such a big deal. It is a big deal and I've been there twice and almost a third time on my last trip.
Your view is one i haven't seen, and i love the way you've taken advantage of the temple in the background, the way it fits in. The early time of day or even evening is what gives Agra a thin, gauzy look at the treasures inside . Love it. I've only been back a little over a week

Fred,
A most beautiful picture of the Taj Mahal showing it's beauty from an unusual angle & to my mind all the better for that, not being the "Post Card View". Artistic composition, framing & soft lighting that adds atmosphere to the view. Taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
