Victoria Memorial, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

Victoria Memorial, built in the memory of Queen Victoria, is situated in Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal. The Victoria Memorial blends the best of the British and Mughal architecture.
The foundation stone of the memorial was laid down in the year 1906, by the 'Prince of Wales'. Apart from being a memorial, the monument was intended to serve as a tribute to the success of the British Empire in India. Lord Curzon was the one who envisaged the main idea of the erection of the Victoria Memorial Hall, which was to serve as the architectural culmination of the Kolkata city. The Victoria Memorial is 338 by 228 feet and a height of 184 feet.

Hello Sanjiban,

The different towers give a nice contrast against the colorful sky.
Perhaps a little bit dark but real a nice picture for look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Namaste Sanjiban,

that's an impressive register of this memorial. Your choice for the dark tones, showing only the silhouettes and including some reflection was to my taste. It reveals something about your photography sense. Very well done!
Regards,
Carlos

A very atmospheric and evocative photo. It is so fine to see and so masterfully composed: on one side the black and elegant silhuettes of the memorial and to the other side that lovely reflection on the water. Very nice colours of both sky and water. An excellent composition.
Compliments,
Donato

Hi Sanjiban,

The point of view is taking my eyes toward the horizon which is giving depth to the composition. The subject is well framed. The sunrise is giving nice colors to the sky, to the water and a set of shadows to the Victoria Memorial. Have a nice day.

Hello Sanjiban,

You capture the atmosphere very well, in a scene that breaths from peace and tranquility!
The Memorial stands out well in this strong silhouette, and the touch of warm light in the horizon adds life to the scene...
A fine balanced composition with good details!

Wonderful capture that us transmits an atmosphere of dream, the backlight of the monument with these beautiful colors in the sky and that in turn are reflected doubly in the water they turn out to be doubly captivating. Beautiful work.
Best regards.

Superb composition!
