Thanks for the comment, very much appreciated. |

Very surrealistic. The Mosque looks like a drawing almost.

These tones are on purpose, there was no other way to make it out of ordinary. I made three versions of this tone (very subtle difference) and asked my wife if she liked any. She said she did not like any of them. Well but I knew this is the right one. :-D |

| Tonal masterpiece, not to mention the brilliant way of contrasting foreground and subject. |

Really I was very worried about the fact that it is photographed so much. But one way you are correct that presenting something that is photographed so much in new light is challenge in itself. I had hard time, but finally pulled it off. |

| Exellent capture and conversion. Image is nice and sharp. The perspective is pretty standard (mind you magnificent). THe conversion gives it a historical feel. GOod Luck. 7. |

| I like the high key effect here. One nitpick though, the little bush on the left. If you could have, one step to the right would probably have provided the separation needed between the bush and the building. |

| Beautiful picture. I think the building could be a little bit darker though, so it doesn't blend in with the sky. |

| One we've all seen a thousand times before.... but there is something about the match of the sky with the stone and mortar of the building that really sets this one apart for me. Very nice. |

| I like the off centre lead in and the toning is perfect. The left hand tower has lost it's verticalness and it's such a lovely image it would be worth correcting that. Well done :) |

Sometimes it is very hard to capture the intrinsic beauty of a building as magnificent as the Taj Mahal, especially when it has been photographed so many times before...However you succeed on both counts. I love the use of sepia which has both created a wonderful sense of age about this shot and also flies in the face of tradition images that try to convey exactly how white the building is
Seems slightly (and I mean slightly) blown just to the right of the main dome, but still a wonderful 9 |
