Cool shot but I wish it had the building in the shot as well.

What an excellent monument... no one can see such a wonderful constructions anywhere other than in India... Charminar, one of the site seeing places in Hyderabad (external link), is another one of such monuments... hawa mahal in rajastan, sansad bhavan in delhi, etc are must to visit at least once in life...

great shot. just a small suggestion. you should have taken this and taken pictures from the building as well in order to have the actual building plus the reflection in the picture. you could take it in several single pictures and stich them together

I understand your suggestion. I was going for a very different perspective and wanted to capture only the reflection with the fountains as leading lines.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Beautiful reflection. I went there during a time when I didn't know there's such a thing as DSLR. Now my only memory of Taj Mahal is a faded photo of that magnificent piece of art.

I like it. the only thing I wonder is if you cut the top a little so you can't see the end of the pool. then it might look like the pool goes on forever and it makes you wonder what lies beyond.

I feel like a vertical pano would have been absolutely gorgeous here.

I agree, think it would look better to have the actual building plus the reflection in the picture,this might help brighten it up as the background looks a bit dark becaus of the verry light water, and finaly, it looks a bit off horizontal.
Where are the rest of these photo's ?
