The Taj Mahal

I've been going back through my photo's reprocessing some of the thousands I've taken on various trips and not really done anything with! The Taj Mahal is truly amazing and the sunrise light is fantastic. I took loads of pictures but this is my favourite.

Let me know what you think, good or bad!

Nice! You just needed to be a half step to the left

I chimped it straight after I took it and realised it wasn't quite right so I stepped left and had another go then when I checked that one I'd stepped exactly the same amount to far so had a perfect mirror image of this shot. Then the tourists decended so I had to make do!

Still I'm happy with the result, I've also got a couple from exactly the spot you took that one from, such a great place for photography. I wasn't expecting much from the Taj as I thought after all the hype it could only disapoint but it is tuly breath taking.

It's good but the reflection of the "spire" is too close to the bottom, almost cut off. Small point but not much else to add really

Stunning gardens that 90% of folk don't walk around!

Now you point it out it annoys me to, fortunately I can fix that one as the image is a slight crop so I can slide the fame down a little for the version that goes in the holiday book. Thanks.

Like a lot of the worlds great sights (took me two days to really get to grips with the Grand Canyon!) I'm amazed at the number of people who simply turn up for five minutes take a quick picture and then leave. Like you say the gardens at the Taj are fantastic and you can find quiet space to soak up the atmosphere and beauty.
