 The beautiful recessed archways set geometrically to let the sun unfold inside like lotus petals, hence the name Lotus.
This was shot in Hampi. Hampi is a village in northern Karnataka state in India. It contains the ruins of the ancient city of Vijayanagara, one of the most glorious and prosperous citadels from the 3rd to the 6th century. It was the capital of the Vijayanagar Dynasty, the last of Hindu empires in India. .

Could be sharper. Too bad tilt fixes (rotations) are not allowed. Looks like a fascinating edifice.

the tilt to the right is a little strange, feels more like motion than still

This feels the slightest bit tilted to me but that could be an illusion. Rich colors.

This is nice! Just one thing bugs me (maybe my eyes are playing tricks) it seems to be tilted ever so slightly to the right !
