    Shanti Stupa #2. Leh, India 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 from Namgyal Tsemo monastery in leh, India

    Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, frame, crop.

    Thank You

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

    I prefer this version but I wonder if you need all that bright area in the top left corner? It tends to compete for attention with the building.

    How about cropping a little from the left side to produce a 5 x 4 ratio or a square image; maybe even 4 x 5 ratio?

    I think the basic shot is good but somehow I feel the building could have just a little more impact.

    I love this one Rajneesh! The soft and diffuse light in the top left corner beautifully contrasts the crisp light hitting the stupa. That soft and hazy background provides a wonderful background to the stupa.

    That must have been shot with a fairly long lens. The air is very hazy when compared to what it was like in January.

    Niiiice! The scale is great. The crispy white stupa and immense hazy mountains are a great contrast. I find it all very well balanced in the frame.
