The construction of this mughal monument was done in 1784. This photo is taken from top of the labyrinth, which has 1024 similar looking doorways, 4 floors, walkways inside the walls. You can see the entire Lucknow city from top of it.

    What an awesome shot. I love the contrast between ancient riches and modern poverty in India you're able to show here.

    Love the composition! Nice choice of color. The orange/sepia make this photo look antique.

    The location definitely rocks, but the composition exposure and color give it that "feel" that it needs and certainly has. India is a place that has THIS vibe and this picture captures it so well. Nice job! (Now I gotta go back too....)
