Good snap.
Did you changed colour tone or temp. Is it in the natural tone?

@ekalavyan: Used a filter added to a warmer white balanced mode. Shot on a bright sunny evening and so the contrast and tones on Taj! Thanks!

The other day I saw a documentary about the Taj and an interesting detail was hearing about those minarets leaning toward the outside, so that in case of an earthquake they will not damage the Taj! Wonderful photo of this amazing building Sriram!
