Having had the privilege of visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra during a year in India on an exchange scholarship, getting to see this beautifully composed image of Humanyn's Tomb -- which I missed while in New Delhi -- is a treat and a womderment. At first glance I thought it was the one in Agra -- but then I saw the color. (The Taj is apparently slowly becoming less white as air pollution takes its toll, but it's still white in comparison to this building.) This is a grogeous, serene, beautifully balanced shot! Congratulations, Nick.

A classic shot, but really well executed. I wonder hod did you manage to get a shot with so little people in front of the Tadj?

Really shows scale of the structure, this shot.
