horizon is not level, otherwise would have scored it higher...

This shot is interesting, but losses appeal through not being visually straightened.

One of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and very nicely taken.....

Great composition. I like the perspective and the placement of the 2 women. I would have scored it highter had the horizon line been level.

A straight horizon would have helped this photo.
01/24/2006 03:24:55 PM
Nice, looks tilted to the left a little.

They only picky thing I have to say is...You could have leveled it about 1.5 degrees to the right.

the horizon is tilted

while the intended main subject may have been the taj mahal, i think the woman in the red really stands out far more....7

I'm so jealous! I really want to visit here someday. The leading lines work really well in this photo, and the 2 women in the foreground add some interest.

Not bad, I just have to put a question mark about the composition, wouldn´t this shot have been better composed with a straight horizon and the two women in the lower right corner so that the water would have been all in the frame.

Crop this placing the bush and the people in the lower left and this is great.
01/17/2006 10:08:13 AM
Cool. Looks almost like the temple was drawn in.
01/17/2006 02:45:54 AM
not sure about the title - looks like full daylight to me. Regardless, nice leading lines and composition.

Not your usual image of the Taj Mahal. I like the women in the foreground. Expect you could have cropped into the right side a bit to emphasize them. But it's a nice image either way.

I am not walking all the way down there just to pray. How about I pray to you and you walk down there and deliver it for me?

Great job on capturing the Taj while keeping the aspect so clear. 7

Beautiful contrast of colors... horizon seems a little bit tilted in this shot but that can be easily fixed.

Tilts to the left, needs to be level for such a great scene.
