Hi Angshuman,
Nice thinking to include the red rocks in the foreground as it adds a good additional splash of colour to the photo. Managing to capture all the pigeons scattering within the photo is great, and it really is a nice photo.
I've never heard of this place before, so thanks for informing me about it!
Regards

Hi Angshu,
Without all those birds it was just a nice picture, but now with them all over the place it makes it much more interesting in composition and focalpoint. The upward view is also something i like to see, makes the whole building even more majestic than it already is....a very good one.

Salut Angshuman,
Quel magnifique temple. Je l'ai raté lorsque j'étais à Jodhpur. Dommage. Belle prise de vue. Amitié, Patty.

I like the upward POV and the inclusion of the red rocks in the frame at the bottom. The light is lovely and you have captured amazing detail. Perfect timing to capture the circling pidgeons. It's funny how one pidgeon takes off and they all follow suit. Good work

Hello Angshuman,
your effort to come down was rewarded in several ways, first you got a very good color combination with the several layers made by the front rocks, the chhatri, and the sky.
Then you have this POV which makes the chhatri even more impressive and then of course, the cherish on top of the cake, the pigeons flying over the scene giving it much dinamism.
Cheers.

Hi Angshu,
A good POV and the inclusion of the FG rocks give depth to the scene. Warm colors and sharp details, good to have all these birds flying around too/
Good work

Hello Angshu,

At first I thought it were crows or even big bats, since we only see the silouettes of the birds. That have it a bit of a creepy atmosphere, but an interesting structure, a good note and you also made an effort to get this point of view as I can read ;-).

Greetings!

Hi Angshumanda,
I think "down from the main road, over the rock outcrops, past thorn bushes to get this angle" was totally worth it. A unique POV as usual and techinically quite perfect too.
Thanks for sharing,
Shaeri
I was referring to your "Monkey story" in Jusni's shot..similar ambiance and mood I thought.

Hello Angshu. There are so many pigeons against the spotless blue sky! Beautiful capture of this architecture with low pov. The rock in the foreground making good contrast in shape and color. I like the image complemented well with the note. Thanks again for sharing and best regards. Jusni

Those flocks of birds is an excellent inclusion in this shot as it blends with the landmark of Jodhpur. Nice FG of those rocks in warm colors and very good note too.

Very nice point of view, which gives a combination of the building and of the rock base, the two contrasting very nicely together and with the blue sky. The sharpness is also excellent here. The birds are a great plus.

All the best,

Hi Angshu,,I remember that I saw the Important monument in your picture with the photographers! Believes this your choice is better, most excellent and spectacular. The fortress impressive the pigeons creating atmosphere and the indirect lighting a good anatomy in architectural the building drawing. I praise you.

Bonjour, cher Angshu,
Mais où allez-vous chercher toutes ces merveilles. C'est à se demander si vous ne possédez pas une caverne emplie de lieux magnifiques, où il suffit de faire apparaître comme par magie une telle image !
Une image de grande qualité venant s'ajouter à la liste déjà longue des merveilles.
Amitiés.

Hello Angshuman,
very nice presentation of this landmark of Jodhpur.The red rock in the foreground and the reddish Jaswant Thada with the cluster of the flighting birds, create a sense of fantastic atmosphere,an eerie mystique.Informative your note with an excellent management of the light and the colors.

Have a nice week,Danos

Hi Angshuman,
You have done a great setting in this capture, I like the graphism of the rocks in FG, the wonderful architecture of the memorial cut away on the blue sky, and certainly the alive and dynamic role of the pigeons flying.
It is a very harmonic and attractive set, with great light and a few beautiful colors.
Nice work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

HI Angshuman,

The Jaswant Thada is impressive. The point of view leads our eyes toward the central tower of the memorial. The fiver towers surrounding the memorial are like guards protecting it. There is a good contrast between the colors of the stones in the foregorund with the colors of the memorial. The subject is well framed. Have a nice day.

Hi Angshu. A true beauty, i remember your previous one at this location. I picked it as a favorites. This one is excellent as well with the great light, beautiful colours on the rocks and the so many birds taken at the right time.

Hi Angshu,
Very beautiful view of this impressive monument. I really liked the contrast of the red rocks with the building and against a nice tone of blue sky, with the special touch given by the many pigeons around the dome. The colors and light are just fantastic.

Hi Angshu.
Je vois que les pigeons sont ici aussi célèbres que ceux de la place Saint Marc à Venise. Ils dynamisent bien la photo. Cette photo est bien composée avec ce premier plan de rochers rouges d'où l'édifice semble surgir. Belle lumière.

Hello Angshu,
An amazing piece of architecture, nicely located on top of the hill!
I like the composition, and the red rocks in front give a fine colour contrast and add depth...
Sharp fine details, the birds add value and the blue sky works well as backdrop!

Angshuman,
the perfect moment of the day to explore the shadows to provide maximal contrast in the rock in the foreground and also of the building. The birds are certainly a nice detail to enrich the composition.

Hello Angshu
The rocks are a good starting point leading nicely the viewer, to the impressive and beautiful architecture from a well chosen POV. Love the morning light and the flock of pigeons adding lot's of dynamism. A good sense of depth and interesting note as usual...

Hello Angshuman! I missed some of the most spectacular shots, what a shame! You really know how to present a building and how to make it look different and even more exciting than it already is. I like the POV you chose with the red stone as your "entry point" and that we actually look up and find nothing but birds flying around the building and I guess this makes the photo special. It makes the photo actually "alive". Very very good, I like it a lot. Barbara.

Hi Angshu,
Great shot.
This temple is beautiful and the way you captured the view, with all these pigeons flying from and to the same direction gives a very dynamic dimension to the whole.

Hi Angshu,
Fabulous framing!! The boulders look like huge chunks of choclate topped with a delicate ivory carving. The detail is eqquisite, the low light gives you wonderful color & the birds add a note of reality to this surreal scene.

I liked your monkey story.

Good afternoon Angshu,
Don't be annoyed for what I'm going to say but the fact is that your picture has reminded me the scene of "Indiana jones and the temple of Doom", in which a million of bats were flying around the dark evilish palace of "Pankot". Jokes apart, the shot is excellent with a superb sharpness and colours. Well done.

Regards

Felip
