Shah Jahan Mosque Photo

Photographer’s Note

This Jama Mosque was built by muslim empror Shah Jahan in 1647-49, it is lined with glazed marble tiles and made with red bricks.

A very interesting aspect of this mosque is that there are a total of 100 domes but when someone tries to count them they come out to be 99, and counting for the second time most people find that there are 101 domes. but third or fourth time they come up with the exact number of these domes.

Another interesting fact about this mosque is that although it is very big (i dont know the exact area) due to the architecture of this mosque voice of the Imam (leader) can be heard in almost all the parts of the Mosque.

very nicly done. However the note can be little more detailed, like the sound resonance effect and number of domes etc.

this does have a calming feeling to it for the first few seconds and the exposure and depth of field is correct; it needs to be straightened in photo shop so that the viewer can resist the impulse to stop leaning. i would like ot see the same view but concentrating on the top of the arches this time. There is far more detail going on with them.
