This is Lotus Temple (Bahai house), loated in Delhi the capital of India.
Thanks to this challenge.... I myself say it's beauty in night for the very first time.

Ok this may be hard to give a critique since I'd rather you be critiquing my images. :) But here goes...
Technicals: Flawless. The lighting is impeccable. MAYBE if you shot this a bit more underexposed in RAW you could have fine tuned the hot spots better, but that's a major nitpick. The color is fantastic. I don't think you could have treated the color any better to convey night.
Subject/composition: Excellent choice in subject. It stands out so well in the challenge. Composition wise I can't envision a better angle. Maybe there was but you pulled this off so well I almost don't want to see if there's a better way to show off this structure.
Verdict/Summary: A winner. Not just a winner in the challenge but a winner as a standalone photograph. Congrats on your multiple ribbons and for pulling off this striking image.
I love the use of shapes in this one. Though i might say they are a bit too obvious in your composition, they add to a feeling of structural stability. Even the alignment of the lights in the front form triangles. Magnificent night shot!
Congratulations on this beautiful capture and ribbon!
(DPC provides us with great motivation. I, too, saw the fountain in my area for the first time at night.)
Congrats, on you first ribbon. This is a beautiful image, it gives off an aura of greatness. I love the golden glow. Kinda cool that we are all first time ribboners in this challenge!
Thanks to All of you for the technical and appreciative comments.
I wished it should be in first 10, but see it ended in first 3. Thanks to all of you.
Congrates, Arvinder!!Just third challenge and you nailed it. WOW, really nice shot. I didn't know it's in Delhi. It looks like Sydney Opera House. Once again congrates on your first ribbon.
Lovely focus and exposure, and absolutely beautiful framing. This goes into my favourites!
Edit to add : so silly of me! Congratulations for the yellow!
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL..... I can see this as a poster. My only critique is that the left side seems a degree or two lower than the right. Easy to fix. The hard things to fix are exposure and focus and you nailed both. Great JOB 9
Oh what a beautiful image - I love this temple though I didn't visit it during my recent trip to India - have only been once. You've really captured it well here.
Great potential, but the slightly counterclockwise-rotated building is a bit distracting. First thing that grabbed me was the lighting and texture. Second thing that immediately followed was "why didn't he/she straighten the horizon?".
well done and I like how clear and in focus the temple is as well as the lights coming towards the viewer, would have been nice to have some detail in the lower part of the building and the building seems alittle tilted, only small details though, seven
