too many complains regarding the reflection...so just thought to post this...
the palace closes at 6 pm...no one allowed inside after that...so had to shoot it from outside...the boundary wall is what guards the rest of the reflection...i circled all around the boundary of the monument to select the perfect spot...would have loved to, but couldnt get any better angle

Hello Abhishek,

This is a very nice image. I really like the colors and the way you have captured the grandiosity of this structure. I, too, would like to have seen more of the reflection - maybe by having moved a bit left and closer to the water to minimize the edge of the pool. Doing so would have given the picture more up/down symmetry, adding interest and impact. Great photograph, in its own right, though. Keep up the good work! :)

Good iimage.

Love the colors. I also like the perspective shown in the photo, more interesting, and makes the reflection more at an angle, making it more interesting- to me anyway. Nice job. :)

I really wish the reflection was complete.
