Hello Subhendu,
pretty good POV with the curved leaf above. The colours and sharpness is very good, too. It is an interesting building, it looks abandoned. TFS
Have a nice day

Namaste Subhendu,

there is an interesting post treatment that reminds of a canvas painting in this photo. I really like that effect. Very good capture of the old mosque in superb denifition and pleasant lighting. The white cloud is another interesting element to look at. The inclusion of the leaves as a natural framing also creates a nice mood. Well done!
Abraço,
Carlos

Namaste Subehndu

Oh I know this mosque very well, I have seen it many times, but I never entered it. No need, I'm not a Muslim. I never photographed the way you did, good idea to give the building a "frame" with the gate. As you were holding your camera up, you got some tilted line. Possibly it could be straighten a bit, but not sure to which extend. What I would had done at your place would had been to not crop the door gate but to include it fully, but that is my personal choice. Otherwise good light management to produce vibrant colors and high sharpness. Well done

Best regards
Urs

Hi Subhendu,
This is a beautiful POV looking through the arch of the palm leave. I like the texture of this really rustic mosque. Looks like once it was a glory place for worshiping. wonder why it is not taken care of. Thought I think it look really as a photography subject. Great composition you did here and good details. The cloud looks 3 demensional. thanks.

Hi Subhendu, what an amazing old mosque, so full of character and history. If those walls could speak, I'm sure they'd have a story to tell! I like the POV and the sky is well-exposed for what looks like a difficult shot in those light conditions. TFS, Lisa.

A very fine architecture and a well built composition. You chose a very good POV and I like how the palm leaf frame the photo. There is a lovely light and clarity too.
A good and interesting work.

Best regards,

josepmarin (59385) 2009-11-04 3:33

Namaste Subhendu,
A good low-angle shot in this capture, which offers a very dynamic perspective to the old architecture of this mosque, beautifully surrounded with vegetation due to your good framing, and that obtains a high aesthetic level in the composition.
I like, is a beautiful work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

paololg (31448) 2009-11-04 8:51

Ciao dear friend,
looking at your photo, I have to say that this Mosque is really ancient, but very suggestive, especially if captured in this pleasant way. I appreciate a lot the cloud above the Mosque and the natural frame of the leaves whose arc is combined well to the domes. Compliments for this beautiful image!
Ciao, have a very nice day!
Paolo

Hello Subhendu !

Interesting composition with this curve leaf on the top. I had never seen indian mosque so it's really a discovery for me.
I think it wasn't easy to find a good POV, this mosque is so big. Not easy to catch the entire architecture without big distorsions. And you succeeded.
Well done.

Have a good day.

Magali

Hi Subhendu,
nice presentation of this Mosque viewing from this POV.I like the rich colours, as the oldness of the construction under this blue sky.The branch of the palm tree is a nice decorative element of the scene.

Angshu (56760) 2009-11-05 6:06

Hello Subhendu
I like this better than your cat-shot...for sure! For one I like the framing you've done with the leaf sweeping the upper border, then your low POV....together they work very well for the eyes. Only spot of OE in the cloud, and the other minor issue is the halo around the mosque more evident around the minarets...cloning is the only way out. Well done!
Best Wishes
Angshuman

Well done,

pablominto (53746) 2009-11-06 4:21

Hello Subhendu,

It is an impressive building, and the way you frame it it is like it is growing out of the jungle!
The tooth of time is clearly visible in the structure, where some vegetation is about to grab hold...
I miss some scaling but I have the feeling this is a large structure..!

Greetings,

Hi Subhendu

Dont you just love photographing old buildings and ruins - They make doing what we do so rewarding when we see the end results. Great composition and the use of the Palm Frond frames it beautifully. Good work and looking forward to seeing more from you.

Ottimo il contrasto con il cielo e l'arco che incornicia la foto.

Hello Subhendu,

The Mosque near Motijihil is very impressive, and it's the first time I heard about it. With a succinct note, this is a good package for TE, "Learning about geography from photography."
