Sunset at the Taj Mahal
- Contest: Diagonal Lines
- DESCRIPTION AND SETTINGS : After a busy day visiting the Taj Mahal we just wait for the sun to go down at the river side, and I took many pictures there.

Judge's Critique:
Sunset at the Taj Mahal: There are diagonal lines in this image with the river, the skiff in the foreground, and the building wall. The diagonal line of the river does lead the viewer to the building and sun, but as the title suggest, this image seems to be about the sunset and the Taj Mahal. However the Taj Mahal is small in the frame, which diminishes it as a subject. This is a monochromatic image with exposing for figure and ground (silhouettes). The image is a little soft (out of focus) and there is a lot of unnecessary space on the right side of the frame. Was this needed for the Sunset at the Taj Mahal statement? Not for me. As for the sun…the sun is problematic and trying to expose a scene and not have a blown out area for the sun is not possible. But, this can be handled in an image-editing program. See the visual critique for ideas on composition and processing. Did the crop reinforce your image title? Notice haw the sun has a hint of yellow instead of pure white?
