Through the Corridors
by Lakshmi
The ladies were walking past the corridors of the Qutb Shahi tombs in the late afternoon. The wonderful light and the ladies dressed in black added to the mood of this lovely architecture.

I am totally taken in by photography as a medium. Photography allows you to look at the world in totally different perspective, trains your eyes to see the world in better light and look for beauty in the most unexpected of places. It is indeed very surprising that so much can be learnt and understood about our world just by freezing a frame for a fraction of a second.

Excellent exposure, composition and details, Lakshmi

Potential of a good image exists even at the commonest of places. You have a Good eye for photographs.
You can try removing the parallax distortion and correcting the horizontal in PS.

How interesting shot, the architecture of this building and the women walking are so well matched. You have captured it so well and it is a classic shot.
Pauline Jones
The colors are subtle but warm; well done

How nicely u have clicked, the exact posture of the women walking and the architecture of the building. U do make the commonest of places an interesting place.

Renee

Excellent composition. I agree with Anurag on the distortion, though.

The Ladies’ composure while walking is remarkable.
It looks as if they are framed into this setting.

Who are those ladies and what are they doing there?
Lakshmi
Thank you all for the time and comments.
Maybe I should have added a bit more about the site. The city of Hyderabad was ruled by the memebers of Quli Qutb Shahi dynasty prior to the Nizams. There was a remarkable growth not only in the economy and development but also in art and architecture. All the 7 rulers were buried in close vicinity and the area is known as Qutb Shahi tombs.
@TomBrooklyn:
These tombs are very popular place for tourists/visitors. These ladies were a part of a group hurrying around to catch up with the rest of them on the other end.

Ellie,
Parallax distortion can mean two things.
The more common reference is to the difference image seen in the view finder of rangefinder cameras (esp. at close distances) and the actual image captured by the Film, – because the two lenses are a little distances apart. Part of the image seen in the view finder is not captured by the Shooting lens.
The other meaning, what I reffered to is vertical perspective or Keystone correction, which is easily corrected by the Lens distortion filter in PS. I hope this answers your question.
