Ensure you have plenty of time, do not rush explore +++. I walked passed this area many times during my visit and took several shots. It was not until I had noticed the fountains had been turned off and saw the mirror effect of the Taj that I then spent some time setting up the shot. It is one of my favourite shots from my trip to India.
