  • Taj Mahal does looks different in sunset, sunrise - at night, and so on - it is actually quite famous for it. It has a very special glow, so many different pictures about it is quite in order. Hafspajen (talk) 14:50, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yep dude, I know that. But I'll Support edited version (only if you make it Alt.1) because of the better lighting. The current candidate is far below the expected qualities of the Taj Mahal (poorest lighting)..--The herald 07:36, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Muhammad, since you took this picture so it is reasonable that you will prefer your image. And as for Sharpness and light, it is FP level (I think). In your image the marbles looks brownish whereas the original color is white (although it varies with time of the day, but the original color is white).

  • Comment I think as a landscape architect, that in the composition, the garden shown is an asset. Hafspajen (talk) 14:23, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No more flogging Muhammad..There is nothing bad as so called domes... Perfect for my eyes which have seen the real one (though editing made it more perfect). Plus your Taj Mahal was no even was a substitute..--The herald 14:25, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nobody is flogging anyone. I love Muhammad, he is one of our most talented contributor, a truly good asset. He is a great photographer. We are only discussing an image - that's all. Hafspajen (talk) 14:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The domes in the edit were indeed blown, any person can check that. Of course, I am biased for my image but it shows what is really possible in terms of sharpness. But enough from me, I will stop with my flogging ;) I'm amused to say the least. --Muhammad(talk) 19:44, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
