Goldy, this is a nice shot, not a view that we normally see from off the centerline of the promanade. Colors are nice and the detail is pretty good as well. I would question the f-4 setting, with as much light as you had it might have made a better shot to use f-8 or so and lower the shuttter speed accordingly. Overall a fine capture.

We usually see the symmetrical view with the reflections, so this is a pleasant change. I like very much how you have used the trees to frame the Taj. I just wonder if you had moved to your left slightly the branches wouldn't have overlapped the minarets. Nevetheless it is a beautiful image.

Hi Goldy,
A nice corner POV under good light. Fine colors and sharpness... maybe cropping the structure on the left, or leaving it entire... here it is in between...(minor detail)... i think the logo is a bit big and bright, and distracts from the picture...

I totally agree with you, Goldy. Unfortunately I couldn't enjoy this view because I decided to come here on a Friday :( So I spent the whole time looking for the best views from the outside...You found a great POV, hidden behind the trees, like a spy. Problably the only monument of the world that keeps the beauty in spite of its huge size. Excellent shot.

Hello Goldy,

Lovely details in the architecture!
The marble comes out very well and it is interesting to see how they used variations in stone colour to create decoration patterns...
The subject is well framed with a nice sense of depth!

Hello Goldy
Very good view from the Taj, it is a symbolic building that everyone would like to visit in their lifetime. I love the lighting on the Taj, it looks so subtle and gentle against the rest of the image. Perfect colours, it is your best shot at the moment. Only thing is that I prefer the copyrights to be written on a border and not on the actual image but that's my personal opinion. Well done Goldy
Regards, Jim

Hi Goldy
Yes I'm here to...not as much though...it's hard trying to keep up on 3 photo sites. I'm also on TrekLens.

The Taj Mahal is a very beautiful. The architecture looks so intricate. It must have been nice to be there in person. I like the way the trees are framing the Taj Mahal.

Hi Goldy,

Excellent and a bit unusal POV. I really like the natural framing of the Taj Mahal. Really good natural colours and perfect sharpness. TFS and have a nice day!

Cheers,

Hi Goldy.
I chanced upon TE today through a reference on TN and was surprised to note that you had written your comment on the last pic I had posted here months ago.
You see, I'm not active on this site any more. Just TN for me.
I have done away with points system here, so you won't find them while I write my appreciation of your picture.
The last I visited the Taj was in 1974.
It still looks good despite reports that it has started showing signs of contamination through pollution.
This is a wonderful frame and I would award you A+++, based on my assessment system as a school teacher :)!
Thanks and keep posting here.
