Sabine I love it. For one you have conveyed so well the symmetry and solidity of Taj with that glow, a sort of halo (I don't know how you managed it) plus the idea of putting Mumtaz Mahal's persona there. It shows how deeply you have felt the mysticism of Taj. It is one great fusion of symbol and reality. It is just so beautiful

Maybe you have to ripple the image in the water
I know you can do it

The insert was done with much care, Sabine, and it shows. I like the overall image, but I feel the temple itself is tilted. I know the vertical is perpendicular because I checked it. But the horizontals do appear (slightly) tilted clockwise. Could it be it's lens distortion ?
Anyway, I love the idea. TFS.

I doubt about the inserted picture; without it was enough I think.
Well; the view here is great; wonderful deep picture with tiny people at the end; this makes the perspective measurements.
Thanks Wishnu

Lovely shot Sabine, I feel also it was good before the picture insertion, but I also like it with it.
Nice symmetry, colours and sharpness.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Wishnu,

Great shot here and a nice bit of PP work too. I can see a slight tilt also but it doesn't detract from the beauty of your picture and its history. Good work!

Guten Tag Wishnu

A spectacular monument to love. I am sure Mumtaz Mahal would have been impressed. Good to include her portrait too. Well done!

I see you put a lot of thought into this creation. I like the idea of face in the water. Very nicely done.

Hi Sabine, excellent PP work carried out with the inertion of the picture. Wonderful soft colours throughout, great perspective. I must agree with Frank though that the horizon is just ever so slightly tilted. All in all great work. Thanks for sahring your concept of the 'Taj'.

I do wonder what the situation is at the Taj, as just about all the photographs of it show this view, which, over time, loses its impact (Familiarity breeds ...)
Seeing the group of people in the distance, it says to me that getting up closer is not a problem, therefore a different angle on the place just must be possible? A different POV would be so refreshing?
Sorry to sound negative but, aside from your PP inclusion, we've seen it all before?
Please check your reality reaction to this crit. It IS very different from the rest that I read above but this is what you get from me. I say what I see what I feel and not many holds barred. I would appreciate the same level of analysis on my stuff and, truth be told, I am beginning to get it from most of my regular visitors. In my intro, I do say that 'ugly crits are the most valuable'. Have I rung any bells here?

Dieses Gebäude sieht so unwirklich aus. Es muss wohl atemberaubend sein, davor zu stehen. Mir macht Indien immer ein wenig Angst (wegen der Hygiene und so), aber auf Dauer geht mein Weg wohl nicht daran vorbei.
Wunderbares Bild,
Nino

Hi Sabine!
I reached this picture a bit late so my comments might sound a bit repetitive of others. Nevertheless, here they are.
First of all, your picture is one of the best I have ever seen of this inimitable piece of world heritage.
Secondly, superimposition of Mumtaj Mahal on it did not appeal to me as a sound idea. Reasons? (1)It scatters attention (2) It's not all that great a portrait of the lady.
Thanks for bearing with me.

I love the image placed on top of the water, very lovely effect, and adds to the mystic power of love reflected in the story, well done.

Hi Sabine,
I don't know how I missed this when it was first posted, but it is a lovely image. I have been waiting to see an image of the Taj with a crowd of people in it, I guess will have a very long wait! I don't know I like the supepossition of the lady's photo is a good idea. But that is just me.

Wah Taj! I like Taj, as I've been visited several times to Agra. It is day light picture. If you get a chance take Taj at the time of sun set, and see the difference. Whatever, it is very wonderful picture of love! thanks for sharing.

Hallo Sabine,
ein wundervolles Bild von dem Taj Mahal, ich wusste das es ein schöner Palast sein soll aber das er so schön ist das wusste ich nicht, und dazu das Bild von der jungen Frau der das Palast gewidmet ist, die herrliche Spiegelungen und die schönen Farben, fantastisch. Du bist doch eine große Meisterin, gratuliere
Viele Grüsse
Janusz
