Ashik,
See, I told you as much, you don't really need a new camera! (You still can mention what you used
). I am impressed that after must be 100,000 to a million pictures of this great monument, one can be original. Showing the building not from the pools but from this window of shadow, and then the small details, gave me a thrill as if I was personally approaching the masterpiece and then able to touch the walls. This is an experience I'd like to feel being there, but you have given the next best thing.
Is this the Fuji? Did you get the circular polarizer yet?

Beside the 100'000 shots, the Taj is one of the most exiting buildings to experience; personally - as a architecture photographer - I find it more exiting than Peter's dome in Rome; I have seen both:
at first glance, the Taj looks like a symmetrical monument, but after a few days of visits, you realize its out of symmetrics, you understand better the fake and real (lower) tomb and the 2nd Taj, the black one
Yes, it's not easy to take a genuine shot of the Taj.

Michael,
I read your interesting link on the Black Taj and continued reading the entire article also covering the sliipage of the entire building and cracks first discovered after merely 4 years after completion! It seems that the side towards the river is lower and that would make sense. In some modern building, I read about sensors that measure the water content under a building and keep it balanced to prevent such slippage.
