Nice to see you...I coma back after a period!

 

Very well balance,composition and so beautiful colours!

 

This is very nice and we have in our country too...You know the iranian`s are master in tiles and mozaics and they worked many like this in many parts of the world amd asia.

 

The indian`s master are good too and I really like the culture of these people.

 

Thnx for sharing this nice shot Rajat and wish you success!

 

7/7...!

Thank you. These are late 19th century mozaics with enamel, lapis lazuli and other stones. Each panel represents a season. This one should be summer, the second winter, and the third monsoon (the rainy season). Bobby, I greatly appreciate your interest and support...

Rajat, all the three images are very good, but my preference is this one, for vividness of colours and details. Like the framing.Glass pane has not affected your shot.

Thanks a ton. I was fortunate in getting a clear day with good ambient light in the courtyard. And very lucky that the covering glass was clean. They have interesting and beautiful objects in their museum buy the standards of display are, to put it mildly, disappointing.

Rajat, I like this series of panels you've done, but I feel there is a little lack of depth to the shots. It may be the glass cover is flattening the the light a bit. I suggest you consider trying this view from a small angle from one side or the other to provide some dimensionality to the raised areas of this great mosaic. You certainly don't have to worry about the color. You've nailed it. You should also consider trying a triptych using all three panels in a single presentation. It is very nice work. Best regards.

I photographed the murals in January while on a visit to Udaipur. They are encased in wooden frames with glass surfaces. If my memory serves me right I spent a few minutes studying the points from which I could get the least obscured views. The covering glass is not one single pane; there is one large central pane and slightly over-lapping it edges are side panes on either side. These overlaps were a bother. They tended to obscure the view. For each panel I chose a p.o.v. that offered me the least obscured view. The panels don't have much depth. The projection at bottom is about 4 to 5 inches. As you can easily make out above the right wing is flat. As is the flared plumage. The rest of the body of the bird is humped. So are the bodies of the two secondary birds. Am also uploading the camera output for the second panel which shows the framing etc... I sincerely appreciate your interest and feedback, thanks. Regards, rajat.

Rajat, I understand many of your choices now that I've seen from where this image came. Think about my suggestion next time you run across something like this. It's beautiful mosiac work, and you've have brought it to life.
