The Taj at Sunset - IV, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

Another classical! It was taken on the same day, also at sunset!
Here, we have the reflection of the Taj on the pool that exists in front. We can see many people around, walking or just sitting and enjoying the moment. There were hundreds of people there. The monument is really magnificent and its colours become amazing at this moment of the day!

Shooting the reflection of the Taj in the pool makes it look nice and painterly. Beautiful.

worldcitizen (16234) 2012-05-30 20:11

Hello Ana,
Your creative presentation of the Taj Mahal is very beautiful. The soft reflection and bold colors do seem like a painting. This photo is like a dream.

Hi Ana
This is creative way of showing a picturesque impression of this famous landmark with spectacular composition and viewpoint. Looking at this gorgeous eye catching water reflection and its striking delightful colors is a real pleasure, and the wiggles further creates the vibrancy with the glimpse of reality above. Simply artistic approach, and captured marvelously. Congrats. TFS
Warm regards.

Superbe reflet inversé du Taj donnant beaucoup d'originalité à cette photo, les taches colorées apportées par les vêtements de visiteurs étant un plus important pour l'image.

Hello Ana,
It is a classic that you have done particularly well. The colours in the reflections and the unmistakable Taj make a first class composition. The blue, watery BG is superb. Excellent - congratulations.
Kind Regards, Ann

ourania (51103) 2012-05-30 22:06

Hello Ana,
this picture is beautiful, fascinating and touching. The framing is most effective. I love the textures and lovely colours, the magnificent lighting and exquisite colours. The atmosphere is awesome. I love the composition and the posture of the man in front of the great monument. I'm sure that you, the people in the frame and us, the viewers, all share the same sense of wonder here. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Ola Ana, Yes, it is another classic but very pleasant one. I like this blurred image of Taj Mahal, with some human elements. Well done.

Hello Ana - I am back after a short spell of self-imposed exile and glad that the Pinterest saga has been resolved. I see you have made use of the new feature already! More power to the little people!

Beautiful shot and a great take on a familiar building. I love the soft painterly effect. Top class shot. Warm regards Rosemary

C'est une superbe prise. L'image est parfaite, avec juste ce qu'il faut de flou pour réaliser qu'il s'agit bien d'un reflet dans l'eau. Bravo pour les couleurs.

it's difficult to be original here, I think you managed to do it.
strange feeling, people are like colorful ghosts walking in a blurred place.
well done,

I've always said to myself that when i eventually travel to India, i'm going to get the Taj upside down in a water reflection shot!

Cheers

PecoBud (3824) 2012-06-03 11:17

All I can say is I thought I'd seen it all, but now, yes I have. This photo took my breathe away, so amazing and artistic with perfect color and light control, and the clarity off the water reflections are alluring and superior in every way!! Your timing and POV are one of the best I've seen, great and wonderful job Ana, I love what you've done here, Bravo!!

TFS!

Royaldevon (86520) 2012-06-04 1:15

Hello Ana,

We, as photographers, all love reflections and this is a particularly fine one. It has the appeal of an impressionist painting.
Isn't it surprising how the colours always seem more vivid in the reflection than in the reality!
Well seen.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

mvdisco (17798) 2012-06-04 11:43

Nice picture. This looks like water colour. I had posted a similar picture quite a while back. The shimmering reflections work well.

So you're going to Thailand soon? Which places...Chiang Mai etc?

ChrisJ (172436) 2012-06-06 7:55

Hello Ana,

A clever inversion and a perfect image to do it with too. Looks like an abstract or impressionist painting. The pink, red & orange saris contrast well against the blue sky. Looks like an old colour tv on the blink too! Tfs!

thanks for sharing,
Dimitris.

josepmarin (59385) 2012-06-08 6:55

Olá, amiga Ana,
una idea fantástica para crear la composición en base a los reflejos del maravilloso Taj, invirtiendo la imagen, con lo que has obtenido un eficaz efecto de pintura en la imagen, aprovechando la ligera distorsión gráfica producida por las pequeñas ondulaciones del agua.
Es una foto muy atractiva, creativa y dinámica.
Excelente trabajo.
Abraços,
Pili e Josep

jemaflor (148306) 2012-06-10 1:22

Waylim (25436) 2012-06-13 23:06

Hi Ana,

Clever and innovative presentation turning the image upside down and show only the reflection. Beautiful colors, good sunset light. the pattern makes it looks like an impressionistic painting.

Bonjour Ana,
superbe et bien pensé, l'éclat des lumières est un peu estompé mais les couleurs sont demeurées intenses voire vives. Un cadrage à la renverse parfait.
Bien vu!!

jcpix (14030) 2013-03-17 11:37

Hi Ana,

I think the numerous comments before me are a true testimony to the beauty and appeal of this photo. It's a creative a fun way to make something new out of a much photographed subject. This really has a painted look and feel, which gives it another quality that is not the "norm" and makes it stand out from the rest. The inverted and reflected composition make this a tremendous image, a very good eye indeed! Compliments on a terrific shot! Have a nice day.

Cheers,

Jason

satyakki (672) 2013-04-06 2:41

Dear Ana,
One of the best reflected photographic image I ever saw. It seems the reflection was controlled completely by you- such is the composition. I have been here so often but never could a pov as this.
Cheers and thanks for sharing.
Satyakki

ikeharel (114691) 2013-04-09 7:29

Ola Ana,
An inverted reflection that looks most admirable: great clear outlines and the people staring at.
Bright daylight allowed a fantastic scene.
Exquisite taken shot.

gus72 (3719) 2013-08-31 16:56

Hi Ana !!
Great idea and fantastic execution.I will remember this one as I can only imagine myself so absorbed in looking at the temple and NOT thinking of the many photographic possibilities.
Lovely effect that created a slightly blurred image.
A credit to you.
Have a nice Sunday.
Gus
