Photographer’s Note

Sunset over Taj Mahal. Before I went on the trip to India, I have read a few articles on the net talking about the red sky around Taj area due to heavy pollution. It's indeed the case when I saw the sunset in action. This was taken in the back of Taj by the river. At the time there were probably over 100 mosquitoes flying over my head, luckily I didn't get a single sting.
Taj was simply magnificent!

Hi Jonathan

A nice sunset picture of the world famous Taj Mahal, I like it. The sharpness is adequate, the red hues are fine and DOF is acceptable. The main problem as far as I see it, you were a bit late, because the monument is almost a silhouette.

Best regards
Urs

Hello Jonathan,

This original view of the Taj Mahal is beautiful. I like the shadow of this building and its reflection in the water. The orange color in the sky is beautiful too.
