About The Victoria Memorial, located in Kolkata, India is a memorial of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom who also carried the title of Empress of India.

The structure was designed by Sir William Emerson in an architectural style similar to Taj Mahal. Earlier he was asked to design the building in the Italian Renaissance style. But as Emerson was against the exclusive use of European styles, he incorporated Mughal elements. Vincent Esch was the superintending architect. Lord Redesdale and Sir David Prain designed the gardens. The work of construction was entrusted to Messrs Martin & Co. of Calcutta.

It was built between 1906 and 1921. It is a majestic white marble building at the southern end of the Maidan and surrounded by a sprawling garden. A black bronze angel known as Victory, holding a bugle in her hand was placed at the apex of the dome above the Memorial. It is fixed to its pedestal with ball bearings and rotates when the wind is strong enough. Unlike many other monuments of British Imperialism in India, it has been well maintained.

Great work here Deb . . . and congrats on the award. I get a distracting feeling from this that it isn't level . . . like a very slight tilt down on the right. Probably just me . . . anyway . . . the image and post-editing are truly creative and very well done . . . Perfect for this category too! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks.. the picture I was talking about is about half way down on the page at the following link:
http://www2.sfs.uni-uebingen.de/~somdev/photo.html
It looks like the same angle but reversed. Most likely that photographer reversed his photo inadvertently. Regardless, it is amazing architecture and you did well in presenting your view of it.
--Best regards, Jan

Than Jan. this is the actual view. Perhaps you have seen the same architecture with different angle. this architecture is sorrounded by a big lawn. so photographers can catch the same from diff angle. you can see.. another shot from diff angle in this pic of mine..

Debasish -- Congratulations on the BIP for this beautiful archteture and your photo shop work. Excellent work and very dramatic.
I saw a picture similar to this one but the detail was reversed, right to left. Is this the actual view or did you reverse it? Not sure if the one I saw was correct.
--Best to you, Jan
