Really an inovative and fresh look at a very cliched and mature subject.
The pattern on the floor really goes very well with the overall structure of The Taj.

Great shot with highest marks. good position and selection of angle. Balanced light and the person in the middle gives such a good impression.

A more vertical cut, just like in the Google preview, would have been perfect.

It’s the first time I see the Taj without anybody How did you do that ?
It’s very beautiful, very expressive in black and white. Congratulations !

…….because this is a side view, Mimsha! Taken from the adjoining mosque. If you look closely there are the usual “lots of people” on the plinth.
