    Shadow of Dead. C&C Welcome

    Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

    It was clicked at Safdarjang Tomb, New Delhi, I used my own shadow as a leading element to cenotaph.

    Please provide your views and suggestion with composition and processing.

    Thank You

    PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended).

    Raj like the shot and the way you did it. To my way of thinking it is too dark, I played with it in Photoshop by putting a curves adjustment on it raising the curve from 128 to 190 straight up. It may be brighter than you want, what I liked was it brought my attention to the stone in the cenotaph also helped with the shadow as your lead in.

    Cheers: Allan

    Thanks for your kind review and suggestion. I have deliberately toned down the image to give a mood of night. I may be wrong here.

    Here is the edited image as suggested. Thanks

    Raj - this is a really a well done image. It all comes together quite nicely.
