"Jantar Mantar
Built in 1725 by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, Jantar Mantar is a huge sun-dial known as the Prince of Dials. It was also used to observe the movements of stars and planets. The instruments at Jantar Mantar are fascinating for their novel approach. However, it has now become impossible to predict the time accurately because of the towering buildings that surround it. Recently the area has been restored to it's pristine glory. "

Hi Talat!
Very original POV. Amazing composition. Wonderful woman in the background. Great effect.
TFS!

Hi Talat

Some really interesting lines. Vibrant color. Well managed light. Nice vertical comp. I wish the woman was looking at us but it still works. What color.
Ben

Talat,
I would have loved to see the women taking more of the frame...
The curves lead the eye.
Well done.
