The Nahargarh Hotel, Ranthambore, India, 2008

Our hotel just outside Ranthambore National Park, one of India's great tiger sanctuaries, resembled a palace -- seen here at dusk. By abstracting the hotel as a silhouette, framing it within an arch, and juxtaposing the gold tinged diagonal cloud against the deep blue sky, I produce a mood that evokes storybook India.

Thanks, Tim. I am not even shooting the setting sun here -- I am shooting its effect on the clouds. And yes, the frame adds a layer offering a sense of place.

This seems a classic example of making a sunset more than beautiful sky. Your frame is vital here, we aren't just seeing a sunset from anywhere, we are in India!
