This is TAJ, visited by millions every year and photographed on a varid scale and different angles....this photograph was when i first visited the taj in 2005, you get to see the beauty of the monument when you enter its outer gates and here's what you see first, and the monument just grips you from there onwards forever.......

this is a wonderful framing you have here. verry nice

A new frame for the famous monument! Well done, good idea!
Thank you for sharing!

Wow! as they have said it is very original! Aside from the wonderful framing, the monument contrasts very well with the deep blue sky.However I find the monument a bit off center (which is fine and the silhouette of the people a bit distracting. These however does little to take away the beauty of the photograph. Thanks for sharing!

It's amazing how the Taj can constantly surprise me no matter how many times I see it. This is great with the magnanimous framing which doesn't discount on the majesty of the Taj. The looming darkness just adds to the whole 'feel' and that's just wonderful. Good job!

excellent.
i love this unique and original PoV..
very good idea to put the Taj , little in this dark frame.
bravo

loic

Hi Raman,
This is very original. Excellent POV. The framing in black is simply a masterstroke. The Taj even without the minarets looks very tempting.
Well Done!

I must say (although this building bores me to death - killed with pictures) this is definitely one of the most interesting pictures of it.

This is a great shot, the large area of darkness around the window really draws the eye in for a closer look.

Hi Raman,

Fanstastic idea about the framing; it provides a fresh and unusual view of this much-photographed architectural masterpiece, and it is quite effective. However, I think you've left it rather small and off in the distance; in my view, this would look as good, and probably more impressive if the surrounding frame were not so large, so that the image in the centre were bigger. That's just my take on it, though.

;-D

The pov and framing is great! Thanks for the concept.

Hey, Raman.

This is a splendid picture with a very inventive composition, greatly executed + it really looks exquisite. What more can a photographer ask for? :-)

Take care

Viktor
