Hi Pankaj!
Good shot of this very nice temple.
I like the composition with only three colors and the perspective.

Hi Pankaj,

I think the cloudy sky make for a more dramatic view of this temple. The details and soft colours of this image are very appealing. Your perspective of the building is excellent as well. Good work Pankaj :-)
