Inside Red Fort, a photo from Delhi, North

Photographer's Note

SCANNED SLIDE

The decision for constructing the fort was taken in 1639, when Shahjahan decided to shift his capital to Delhi. Within eight years, Shahjahanabad was completed with the Red Fort-Qila-i-Mubarak (fortunate citadel)-Delhi's seventh fort, ready in all its magnificence to receive the Emperor. Though much has changed now because of large-scale demolitions during the British occupation of the fort, its important structures have survived, the glory faded with age but still impressive.
The imperial private apartments lie behind the throne. The apartments consist of a row of pavilions that sits on a raised platform along the eastern edge of the fort, looking out onto the river Jamna.

You got an excellent lighting here to capture the mood very well. You should have taken bit care to remove the shadow on the extreme end wall. Neverthless, excellent detailing, good pov. well done.

Nice Wide POV Pranab,
Like the colour & angle, bringing out the hidden splendour.
I Suggest you need a bit of PP to enhance the image.
Cheers,
Prem.

A very warm picture showing the detail of this fine monument. I visited this place in March and found it breathtaking. The shadows and colour of the photograph bring out the atmosphere well. Good work.

Hello Pranab,
Like this picture. The lightning, the details on the walls, and the shadows, gives the picture a very nice mood.
Well done.

This is a splendid shot. I love the way the sunlight colors the different parts of the arches differently. Beautiful detail work too. I really feel like going back and re-visiting it.

Hi Parnab
I like the sun's light giving a warm effect in the whole scene & the perspective giving a depth. The note about the Fort is informative.

The only thing missing here is sharpness.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Pranab,
Good point of view and interesting light effects!
Image is well composed and giving a fine feeling of depth, strong warm colours from the sun at a low angle...
Well composed presentation with fine details in the architecture!

Hello Pranab!
What impressive architecture! What decorations! How well does the late afternoon light fall on these magnificent carvings!

We'd rather call it a palace in Europe, because of its splendor. Probably you use the word fort because of the British utilization of the site...

Anyway, it's a VIEW!
