"History" is an amazing entry into the Window Framed challenge. Congratulations on the excellent score and overall placement in the challenge.
The image is excellent because it is a subject that many voters are unable to see, which always makes it a rare treasure and the fact it was taken so well makes it even better. The frame you were able to use enhances the architecture of the subject with the contrast. The image does seem to be a little dark but it does look like the sun was going down which makes it pretty hard to get the right lighting. Even the lighting doesn't take away too much from the score for me.
Overall an extremely impressive shot and I am very glad you entered it. Keep up the good work.
I gave this a 9. I think you got ripped off. :) Wonderful photo!!
I knew this was yours though, from when you stated your high scores in the challenge-score thread. I said to myself, "it "MUST" be the India shot". When I went to your profile, sure enough, as soon as I saw you were from India, it was plain as day which shot was yours. You may want to watch that "revealing scores" thing. :) There aren't a ton of India entries, and this one clearly was from India, at least to me. So you could easily give away your anon.
It placed well, but I think it should have placed even higher.
probably the most beautiful frame in the challenge, the building in center is also quite nicel. seems to tilt a bit to the left, or maybe that's just the effect of the imbalance in the comp.
This is Humayun's tomb, if i am not wrong? Or another Mughal architecture? A great image, you have taken, pal, a great one. Best of luck, to you, boss! Just carry on clicking!!
However, would not the pic been better, had u darkened the mosque a bit, which, undoubtedly, would have suppressed some interesting details, but would have added more drama to the pic. This is a digital photography contest, and hence, please go to photoshop and increase the contrast a bit, and then, place the two pics side by side, and observe the difference.
I wish the subject was a little better exposed but probably not possible with the backlit conndition. I like how the window shape compliments the building.
wow I love your frame with the wierd shapes and then the shapes on the building they work so well with each other, also the coloring of the sunset helps
