About the Image(s)
This photograph was captured at the Akshardham campus in Robbinsville, New Jersey. This is the largest Hindu temple in the United States and the second largest in the world. Photography was permitted throughout the campus, with the exception of interior spaces. The entire campus encompasses over 185 acres, and the architectural details are remarkable.
The photograph was taken with a Nikon Z7 II, 24-70mm lens at f/6.3. Post-processing was performed using Affinity Photo and Luminar Neo.

Nice leading lines Peter which give a good perspective of what is clearly an immense and quite spectacular group of buildings.
Increasing your contrast and darkening the sky a tad would enhance it in my humble opinion.

HI Peter, yes, you have lovely leading lines here. Being from New Jersey myself, I never knew this place existed, and it's lovely.
I do think the image is a little flat and could use some contrast. Also maybe adding some darkening or even some saturation to the sky would help. If you could bring down the highlights on the center walkway, they would get less attention and take the viewer's eye to the structures on left and right. There's a little leaning to the center of the columns and the building, you could straighten those out in Lightroom. Lots of things to consider. But it is a fascinating place, thank you for sharing it with us ! Posted: 04/17/2025 20:18:43
