~ upside-down ~, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

I always find reflections fascinating, it's like a different reality, just as each and every one of us see something different in each other, a situation, a preference for something. This is a reflection of Agra's famous landmark, the iconic Taj Mahal along Yamuna river as the temperature slowly dipped on this slight hazy late afternoon.

Straight out of the camera and nothing more was required, taken from a dry sand bar on the middle of the river at low water.

Setting: 38 mm, 1/100 sec, F14, ISO Raw 200, 1705 hrs & GND filter

Hello Abmdsudi, the iconic landmark still recognisable when seen upside down and as a reflection.
Very good timing as the sun was beginning to set.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Abmdsudi,

Like you, I find reflections very exciting, with lots of different possibilities.
This is lovely. We don't often see this famous building upside down!
The slight ripples on the water's surface soften the effect and make the temple seem very mellow. I like how well you have placed the setting sun, almost like a lantern in the sky.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Abmdsudi,
Splendid composition, with these beautiful reflections of the Taj Mahal in the water, ideal for the evening sun that breaks through the mist, which gives that dreamy halo to the composition.
A magnificent range of colors, which gives an attractive chromatism.
Very good management of the brightness, as well as the sharpness of the image.
Good work, which we enjoy. I love it.
Have a great day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi Abmdsudi
Very original take on this most photographed subject. I love the idea as well as the light and colours. Nice to see some ripples on the surface of the water, they add to the surreal feeling of seeing it upside down.
Best wishes
Kasia
