The Taj in fog

I had never seen the Taj Mahal in fog, but this morning in Agra the fog was so dense that the most famous icon of India was completely invisible. As time passed, the fog burned off and the Taj became more and more discernible. The light level was quite low, hense the high ISO setting. With the help of my local guide, my photography tour group and I were able to photograph this model from across the river where there were no people at all. In order to have this kind of depth of field, I had to take two shots -- one of the model and one of the Taj -- and then put them together in Photoshop. Some photographers would have focused on the young woman and let the Taj Mahal go out of focus, but I don't like that look. When there are two subjects -- and in this image there are, in fact, two subjects -- they both need to be in focus. A completely blurred background is usually complementary to a main subject. However, a discernible but blurred background, if that background is an important and integral part of the composition, is visually annoying.
