A distant view of the Taj Mahal at sunrise reflected in the first of two fountains. (From the archives due to time restraints.)

For those of you not viewing this image on the www.dailytravelphotos.com website (i.e. Flickr, Picasa, Picturesocial users), you're missing out on some digital human removal, painstakingly done by yours truly. In earlier Taj Mahal images, I did a dash of digital gardening to remove several people that had spilled into my frame but I hadn't done work this extensive so I thought I'd give it a whirl. The results seem convincing, no?

It was the later end of sunrise so the Taj Mahal was crawling with early birds. Mouse over the image to reveal the removed tourists and you can even see people heading for the exits.
