Hi Thamer
Just perfect, it's the best photo from Taj Mahal I ever saw!
Great POV, Compo and good option for B&W.
Best regards,
Filipe

Beautiful black and white here, a superb view of the Taj, I would maybe have preferred the human element a bit more to the side, but indeed one of the best Taj shots I have seen on TE.
Excellent work
Regards
Jim

Hi Thamer

A pleasant surprise, I have never sen this POV before. It looks good in B&W, perhaps you could put the original colour version in the workshop option for comparison.
Great composition, the overcast sky adds yet another dimension as does the person sitting on the floor. Here the symetry works very well.

Hello Thamer,

The precise symmetry of this image gives it a rather surrealistic atmosphere. I even like the b&w format, with the colors not allowing to distract from the shapes and patterns. Welcome to Trekearth, and warm regards from Virginia.

Hi Thamer
An unusual picture of a very photographed site: no one except this seated and contempling person, and a B&W treatment.
A good entrance in TE world. go on!
Congratulations

hi Thamer,
an impressive B&W POV of this famous place. Pretty good composition with this prayer sat down in front of the Taj on the large and desert ground. Good frame given by the dark gate.
The solitude from the scene, the sky and the B&W give a great mood to the place.

namaste Thamer,

I love this black and white composition. the absence of colours emphasizes the sense of majesty and solitude you were able to capture!

taj mahal is such "captured" place...but you provide us here with a stunning and uncommon POV

well done
Silvio
