Girl peeking out of Humayun's tomb

LichMD · 10/11/07, 12:26 PM

My wife and I were walking out of Humayun's tomb in Delhi when we noticed the daughter of the caretaker looking out to the main complex.
M8, 28 lux, ISO 160, 1/30
Comments appreciated.

Magical light and beautiful colour.

Very nicely seen and captured Jeff.

M8 didnt seem to like that very much. Try manual exposure maybe? Interesting ot hear what the brains trust brings to this, its a situation one often finds oneself in.

I find it very strange that the pattern from the window is repeated on her blue dress. It makes me belive the girl is translucent (an angel, perhaps??) or you have done some monkeybusiness in PS? Or is it some kind of halo -effect?

But nice and intriguing shot!

Azzo,
thank you, we were lucky to have noticed her as we were leaving.

Rob,
shot this with manual exposure, not sure what browser you are using, on Firefox this looks quite nice to me.

Hookeye,
the tomb has these carved marble gates on both ends, the pattern you see on her back is reflected from behind her.

No PS used here, I made minor adjustments in Aperture mostly color sat and contrast for posting.

Thanks

I think she is a bit too central and the picture could be a little darker. Hope you don't mind

It´s the ghosting-problem with those ir/uv-filters again.

Any filter on the best lenses of the world is absolutely nonsense.

I hope Leica will stop the M8 soon and bring out an successor without the need to use filters.

Agree with Azzo. It's stunning!
