Taj!!! Quite naturally on the spotlight!
Posted by Sriram (Chennai, India) on 30 October 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Blissful evening.... The sun too thinks that way... I guess! This was shot from the east side of Taj from inside.
Do check out some of the themes that I have worked on in the past, esplly:

Very nice! The framing and the silhouettes work really well. Such a divine feeling with the Godbeams extending down from heaven. Good capture sir!

Just when I thought your Taj series could not get any better - too good!!! The extent of effort you put, to capture the Taj from different perspectives and at various times is very commendable - clear sign of your dedication to this art...

just a small remark. this building is not the actuall mausoleum but the secondary building on the side. Sriram knows ofcourse but some other readers don't.

@roeb: Its is actually the sillhoutte of Taj shot from inside the secondary building on the east of Taj called: jawab (answer), whose primary purpose was architectural balance, although it may have been used as a guesthouse is was the historians say.

Awesome!
I would probably crop out about 10-15% off the top and increase shadows to make it a perfect silouhette. But I love the fresh perspective!
