Hi Urs,
An artistic capture of the Taj Mahal.
Excellent lighting on the monument framed with a glorious arch. On the doors there is a wonderful subdued lighting.
The reflection on the floor is adorning to the maximum your presentation.
Good photography. Regards.

Francis Xavier

HI Ulf, this is a very unique perspective of the Taj Majal. I like very much how you used the doorway as your frame. Very nice light, TFS, Alex

Hey Urs - beautiful take on this icon! I've seen similar photos before, but yours is more creative and better exposed. Well done!

Hallo Urs! Dann darf man Dir Schwiizerduetsch schreiben, oder nicht? Ein wunderschoener langer Blick durch das Tor rueber zu diesem weltberuehmten Bauwerk, das immer wieder neu fasziniert und erstaunlicherweise auch neue Anblicke schafft, kaum zu glauben, und doch immer wieder ein klitzeklein wenig anders. Tolles Bild, klever umgesetzt, gefaellt mir gut. Beste Gruesse, Barbara.

Hi Urs
What I like best here is not the Taj but the way you've managed the light in the darker parts, the doors and above all the superb pavement in the FG
Bravo
have a nice sunday evening

Hi Urs,

I never such presentation of the Taj Mahal, and I must say that is magnificent..The reflection of the building and the perspective of this photo is great.Even although in the dark, one can still see the engravings on the door ,
Well done.

Regards,

Thomas.

Hello Urs,
Photographed a zillion times but this view still stands out because of its contrasting clarity, and the original view of the stones with their gracious etching like so many small Taj domes, enlightened by the white reflection of the Taj itself.
Well done.
Regards,
Paul

Hallo Urs,

You have an interesting gallery with a lot of great shots. Photo's with strong contrast and deep saturated colours, exactly how i like to see them. This classic icon is also very nice presented, not the standard apparoch, but using one of the arches to frame the Taj...very good.
I see you are using the old mkII, my travel companion for four years. Great tool, still stands strong in all the higher pixel rate these days...

Regards,

Henk

Great exposure. The details in the black foreground are perfect. I love your framing. It's one of the best Taj pictures I ever saw. The clear blue sky really works well here.

Hi Urs,
Splendid and graphical shot well composed. The colors and contrasts are superbs. The arche was well used to frame the beautiful monument. Great job! Well done. Regards, Consuelo

Hello Urs,

A great composition, a perfect light and beautiful colors, almost nobody in the picture : that's a great photo !
I really like the light on the foreground and the reflection of the Taj Mahal on the dark marble of the floor.

Nice picture there specially the reflection on the wet floor with the tiles with motif which reinforce the Taj dome shape. And I love this light.

lovely shot but could have had a subject in the middle to show the scale of the monument, that would have been awesome.
other than that i love the compilation. its come out very very good
