Wow, that is one impressive looking building. I love the sepia tones you used too.

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

foreground is a bit soft, but wonderful details in the mosc. good b/w tones, sepia works well.

I love this image, and the exposure and tones are wonderful. A slightly off-center (just a bit) framing, and just a little more room between the toes and the bottom of the frame might be interesting to see, too. But I tagged this as a favorite!
