This, as we were told buy our hired guide, is the Fatehpur Sikri complex's last surviving painting of the Mughal ruler Akbar the Great (1542-1605) which considering Indian weather and ruin upkeep is pretty impressive!

When we were shown the painting we could barely make it out with our eyes. I had some success taking long exposure images hand-held with my camera to gather more light and detail and the technique looks like it worked pretty well here. Hand-held at 1/3s, neat huh?

Final processing included minor perspective correction, contrast adjustment, and cropping.
