bonjour Patrick
la lumière en contre-jour est superbement gérée, offrant autant de détails sur le Taj,qu'à l'intérieur du batiment d'ou tu prends la photo.Evidemment, l'architecture est magnifique, mais j'adore aussi la présence des fillettes, et l'effet de transparence sur leurs vêtements.
Amitiés
Pascale

re salut Patrick

Back to india!
Belle perspective sur le Taj avec ces touristes qui nous invitent à la visite. j'aime bien l'effet de transparence des vêtements, dommage que tu n'aies pas le haut de l'embrasure. Tu tires en RAW ou bien jpeg?
A+

Hallo Patrick,
In a place like this,so much photographed,itsexttemly hard to make something special,becausetheres alway so many people around and the rather ""cliche'"(forgive me :+]])surroundings.
This shows us exactly why this place is so populair!
Superbe light cicumstances,specially on the woman walking on the left.

Bonjour Patrick
Un contre jour qui donne de beaux effets à cette photo, la transparence des vêtements, le brillant du sol, les silhouettes et les peintures dont on voit les détails. Et le Taj en BG qui semble fait en sucre, splendide.
Bon WE
Bernard

Une façon vraiment originale de présenter le Taj à contrejour en l'animant avec ces enfants joyeux. Peut-être un tout petit regret, l'arche coupée mais c'est un petit détail qui ne m'empêche pas d'admirer cette photo.
Amicalement

Hello Patrick,
a very special shot showing the Taj Mahal and the surrounding environment. The beauty is well framed in the arch. The shadow of the dancing figures add new dimension in the composition.

Regards,
Foozi

gildasjan (38208) 2012-04-01 12:39

Bonsoir Patrick
un choix d'exposition qui donne du caractère à cette scène de vie.Le fort contraste met bien en valeur ces quatre personnages bien placés dans la composition.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Fabulous shot.

Bravo, dear Patrick, because you have captured a pleasing scene. It's never easy to photograph the most famous places in the world without having a postcard already, but here you had a really good glance. The movement of people contrasts well with the static nature of the Taj Mahal. Great work, congratulations!
Ciao, have a nice evening!
Paolo

PecoBud (3778) 2012-04-02 9:21

Wow Patrick what an AWESOME photo!! It has so much life to it, showing great clarity and detail to buildings. I love the everyday life action here with cool light management and superb colors.

TFS...................Buddy

adores (28196) 2012-04-02 18:18

Hi Patrick!
It's a different shot of the Taj! I like your composition with the women's silhouettes and the way you framed the Taj through the arch. The shadows on the ground are also great!

sacavem (18572) 2012-04-07 10:51

Olá Patrick,

Une belle composition pour un très bel endroit et aussi avec le symbolisme fort de l'amour.Bien photographié et des détails très intéressants.

Cumprimentos,
Filipe

mesutilgim (67940) 2012-04-09 10:43

Hello Partick,
Maybe one of the mostg photographed artworks of Indıa, but this one has a different pov -through the gate- and accordingly a different taste.
Very nice silhouettes in the foreground.
TFS and best regards

Hi Patrick
very nice shot of the Taj Mahal, one of the best i ever seen so far, the less obvious. Great light too.
Also the people give that kind of magic atmosphere to the shot. Well done! I like it
Ciao
Giuliana

eldancer1 (17008) 2012-04-10 14:09

I like the way you framed this beautiful structure and shooting against the sun, very creative and effective. Including the people is also a great idea. Good pov and dof with nice details. Very well done, tfs.

bantonbuju (51733) 2012-04-11 9:39

nice one... i do love photos "against" the through-the-door light, like here.... difficult conditions yet perfectly managed exposure - the details both inside, and on the remote building are perfectly exposured...

best, j.

RhodieIke (9207) 2012-04-11 12:03

Hi Patrick, What a super photo you have captured so skilfully, fantastic light giving a romantic mood, well managed, Have a nice Thursday, Cheers Iain.

aliabazari (10105) 2012-04-12 17:20

Hi Patrick
Very beautiful with excellent exposure. Well done.
With respect.

Angshu (51174) 2012-04-18 3:50

Namaste Patrick
The backlight works well here. You're exposure management is excellent here as we can see details in the shade in this strongly contrasty picture. Very original picture indeed!
Best Regards
Angshu

Waylim (22349) 2012-04-26 10:27

Hi Patrick,

I could say the quality is the best with this very difficult light between strong shadow and light, but the presence of the people and their shadow makes the compsition really interesting and visually compelling. One of the more original compostion of the beautiful Taj Mahal I have seen.

Love to see it myself one day.

Dear Patrick,

Nice silhouettes, even more interesting with the accompanying shadows. In addition to the backlighting effect, I like the way the natural light falls onto part of the lady who is apporaching the children, making her appear quite mysterious !

TFS,
May
