Delightful reminder of a great trip I made 35 yrs ago !!
I like how you have portrayed the Qutub through the arch - lovely.
The image looks a little hazy, though that might just be the heat of the day.
And, your image could look much stronger if you used all the pixels and kb that TE allow; they are not generous, not to use what IS available is a waste !
Is the unrusting iron pillar still there too ?
Kind regards, hope to see more of your posts..
