Default First post; All advice welcome!

Hi there,

I just started getting into photography and recently bought a beginners' Nikon D60. I took this picture in India, on my first trip with the camera, and I like it quite a bit. I know it could have been better, and I would love to hear what you have to say, even for retouching.

Thanks, and I hope to post much more. Eager to learn!

I agree, a very nicely taken photo for a beginner. I love that I can see the thousands of hands that left their imprint on the doorway into that building. You've used light very well in this shot too.

The whole thing pulls me in with questions, which a good photo should do.

I love the use of the light here.., and the colors are great.

I think that the woman and the man way in the back distract just a little from this, but, all over its a great shot


Nice first post!
