Mubarak Mahal (Palace of Welcome)

You lined this one up perfectly - great light also. Perfect symmetry. Then I said to myself if we only had one human figure somewhere and that is when I discovered that element to the extreme right of the image. Well done and Congrats.

A wonderful symphony of lines and right angles.

very good idea, I think it is a well thought out work, I like the pov which gives the image a 3D effect and the symmetry of the composition with beautiful geometric shapes and forms. The numerous repeated elements give a nice rhythm to the whole. Interesting photo not because of the subject matter itself but thanks to your creative approach to it. Best regards -wm

many thanks to all for their gracious comments on this mis-named photograph... it is not the Ranion Ki Haveli (Queen's Palace) as i had captioned it earlier... it was built as an official guest house for royal guests of the Jaipur Maharajas towards the end of the 19th century. Now it is a museum, mainly textiles. On view are fine muslins, Benares silks, hand-printed cottons and embroiderd coats.

In other words Palace of Welcome. Part of the City Palace complex. Built at

the end of the 19th century as a royal guest house for personal guests of the

Maharajas. It is a fine example of Hindu architecture with Mughal influence.

Its marble jalis (screens) and balconies are particularly worthy of note. Now

it is a museum, mainly textiles.

Splendid shot with excellent pov.....Regards

Good light and shade management, good background, perfect exposure and a creatively selected pov. Best regards.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing..

Hi Rajat, first of all thanks for your informative explanation about this building. Very interesting and nice shot. Very nice use of oblique lighting on the building to bring out the dimensions and shapes of this structure, and as others have mentioned the excellent point of view you have chosen. Creative work and beautiful building. Regards

Dara - thanks.
