I must say, you bring some freshness with each subject. A new way to look at the subject.

Like the way the building sort of slants, good perspective here

Quite an unusual perspective of the Taj. Beautiful. Like the deep blue sky too.

Cool angle - did you put the blue sky in there?
Have you tried making a version of this shot where the tower is straight? I'm curious if it would look better or not... you can use the distort or skew type tools in PS.

@Jason Kravitz: The sky is natural. About the skew idea, I have stopped using that technique as it makes is appear unnatural (I mean a good photographer can find out that you have changed the original). I think I will only do that if I want to create some symmetry in my pictures or if somebody pays me for doing that. :-)

I love the detail of the building and of course the blue sky makes for a perfect background

What a beautiful shot, brings some originality to the subject - but I love the Taj in any photo, all that time and energy on a beautiful building to celebrate one person!
