Description

&nbspOne of my most vivid memories of my holiday in Rajasthan a year ago was the visit to Amber Fort, an imposing palace built and extended on the top of a mountain by Raja Man Singh, Commander in Chief of Mughal Emperor Akbar's army , in the 16th century. The photo features the Sattais Katcheri, an hypostyle hall of beautiful columns and polyfoil arches. In this place, scribes would sit to receive and record taxes and revenue brought to the Raja,while enjoying breathtaking views over the mountains and valley of Amber.

Wow, absolutely splendid composition. You are a master of ambient lighting. I love the contrast between the hard stone and the soft light and how the dark line of the stone gives such an accent. I can imagine this being a very special place to both work in and visit.
