Hello Ramesh,

Composition with the stair those us leads to the door care for depth.
The Kalan Masjid building is very nice taken, good of colours and excellent sharpness, maybe the sky have a little bit green colour, maybe is my screen not 100% OK.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Dear Rameshji
At first glance I thought this was a new mosque. But reading your note, I find that it predates even the Jama Masjid & Fatehpuri. I had no idea about this mosque & it's unique blue colour does make it different as does it's strange structure. Thanks for sharing this beauty from the city, where I thought I'd visited all landmarks!
Best Regards
Angshu
