No words are enough to describe the beauty and class of this image. An absolute gem which only the talented are able to spot and capture with such intensity.

Hi Angshu,
Eta ki age dekhechilam? Mone porche na. Absolutely amazing POV, the inclusion of the silver moon is a brilliant touch.

I like the diagonal POV, rising high to the moon. The detials are clear Angshu, and the sky very well exposed.
Yur shot has created interest in me to visit Jaisalmer too.

Hi Anghu,
beautiful fortified city on a rock. The moon above is a great topic.

Hello Angshu
The golden tonalities are fantastic and I like how you've presented the Fort creating a diagonal in the image. there is a nice contrast between the sky and the architecture and the moon is the icing on the cake ;)
Have a nice day

Yesterday we had, finally, good rain... Today is full moon and it might goes on...

Hi,
An absolute beauty! What a POV you chose to get our very own Sonar Kella. The golden colour tone of the fort on the blue canvas of sky create a stunning contrast. And that beauty spot on the upper right corner is a masterstroke!!

This large frame to include the moon works very well. And Jaisalmer is so lovely... A great warm diagonal, under a lovely tiny moon...

Always nice to see the moon in daylight. The fort looks very large, more a fortified town than just a stronghold. I regre the fact that the moon was so high is the sky, which conditions a lot the balance of the picture, and led to a very large part of empty sky. But nevertheless a picture I enjoy.

All the best,

Emmanuel

The golden colour from the setting sun has cast a wonderful glow on the fort confirming you chose the perfect time to visit. The moon surely was a bonus, but I can't help wishing it wasn't so tight in the corner of the frame. I'm certain there was nothing to be done as earlier when the moon was lower you wouldn't have the late sun.

Olá Angshu, here it is the golden Beauty. It's a gorgeous image. It would be just fine without the moon and still with all this beautiful blue above. But then the moon became a crucial element in the composition, so nicely placed on the corner. The Fort is like a big ship making an effort to reach the moon - that's why it is more elevated on the right - and the tree on the edge is the lips that will kiss it :)
Friendly regards,

Hi Angshuman,
Perfectly composed using the rule-of-thirds ... that moon is well placed to create interest in the negative space of the sky. Great color contrast and image sharpness. Excellent work! tfs and have a nice weekend.
Cheers,

ps-- thanks for spotting those water marks ... I had to check and luckily it was just on the filter ... whew what a relief ... I thought it was a scratch in the lens. My camera and lens are second hand so there is always a possibility of hidden defects. Anyway, I got it cheap and it is a good entry point for me to learn how to use these advance cameras ... too many functions and too confusing though :)

Hello Angshu,

What a great contrast in colours between that wonderfully blue sky and the detail and yellow tones below! And what a location to build a fort in the middle of the desert! Why did they choose this seemingly abandoned end of the world for this fort? What was it protecting in ancient times? Yep, very nice golden moment here!!

Dennis

Hi Angshuman,

An excellent note, The point of view has capture well the Jailsalmer Fort eith the moon on the top right end corner. The light brings out the best of the colors and is giving a good contrast between them. Giving more room to the sky and the fort in the lower part is an asset to the composition. Have a nice day.

Nice shot of the sandcastle like fort.
I like the framing in the extremes of the frame- the fort down low and that moon right in the corner.
Works nicely.

Namaste,
Dave

Hi Angshuman!
I just understood what it was when I opened it, it's great, the fantastic light reflected on the fort and the moon, so well placed on the right top. A great shot!

Hello Angshu,

I like the simplicity of the composition and the well defined colours!
The contrast sunshine-moonshine adds excitement, and the ancient structures are recorded with fine details...

Excellent compo in which the moon plays a big role, but the rising cliff topped by this fort in a superb light look just awesome.
Excellent

Hi Angshuman,
A light and a few magnificent tones in this capture, I like how you have organized your setting, and the graphical balance that you have obtained.
It is a very attractive photo at sight, with an excellent protagonism of this architecture on a very beautiful sky.
The presence of the moon adds a good aesthetic detail to the composition.
Great shot.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Angshu bonjour.
Cette forteresse antique et vénérable se pare de belles couleurs au coucher du soleil. La lune est un plus appréciable sur ce très beau paysage.
Une réussite.

Hi Angshuman,

Beautiful light on the stone .. great tone .. the position of the moon is striking .. at first I thought "what!" but it just grabs you .. especially the way it seems almost connected to the way the structures rise from left to right across the image .. very nice. take care, John

hello Angshuman,
I think this photo is among your best work, I like a lot how you play with minimalistic composition of strong shapes - triangle of the Fort and circle of the moon. and it's interesting to observe how the intricate details of the Fort create a feeling of a busy place exactly because of how small the place looks compared to the moon. I guess it reminds me of an anthill :) superb light, such a warm tone can make all the difference for the photo. excellent work, my compliments.

with best regards,
Kristine

Hi Angshumanda,
Absolutely wonderful shot..I liked the idea of keeping the vast sky in the frame with the moon. Very artistic approach.

Sagarneel.
