I have just returned from 2 weeks in Paris - (one of the world's wonders) and it sure felt good to be back. Had a hard buisness trip for me. But I took many nice shots (about 8 GB RAW files) and this shot one of them.

Hi Alex,

Different perspective of this tower. Fine detail and I like the composition. Well done my friend.

Well at least you took advantage of your business trip ;) Really stunning shot of this, I usually get really jaded with shots of the Eiffel Tower I find this one really appealling. The overall gold and brown hues and tones give the shot a distinct mood and flavor, and I love how you used that point of view looking up onto the front face and the underside of the tower to play on the scale and to make the structures imposing and stretching out all over the frame. Excellent composition and framing with the "legs" of the tower stretching out to the lower corners of the shot. I also like the different contrasts and qualities created with the artificial lighting shown on the tower, it makes the tower look like it's glowing from the inside at some parts. Excellent detail and clarity, especially for a nighttime shot, with the high ISO you used. Although there are some overexposed bits at the top and at the right you did a great job with the metering. Excellent too with this captured at a slight angle or tilt, TFS!

Not one of the run of the mill Eiffel shots for sure,

Ilike your POV,giving the viewer a very high impact image of

the Eiffel,clear & sharp night shot.the 1st observation deck

stands out well.

Nice shot. Good timing and light.
It would be great to see from same view, but with the tower being fully visible.

Hi Alex,

You already told that it would be night shots in Paris, but man, it was well worth it.
Amazing. Le Tour Eiffel looks as if it is made of fine gold wire - like fillegrain (?) work from a silversmith. And all so detailed.
Congratulations on this shot.

Thanks for your critique of my "Sum Sum Summertime"

One of THE most photographed examples of architecture in the world and no wonder! It's really impressive and I'm sooooooo jealous of you having 2 weeks in Paris. I love it there. Great shot, nice crisp focus and detail. Tov Meod

Hi Alex
Great image presented here of this so beautiful landmark.
We never get tired of looking at it with presentations like
this one. Composition, colours and POV are exceptional.

Paul

Hello Alex,
it is always interesting to take such a arcitectural monument and a challenge to find a new pov!!! but the choice of your night shot and this crop satisfied an orignal view to my mind!
TFS,
V.

P.S/ by the way, i've posted the original picture of the photo 'faerie valley II' as you wanted to see the inital colours. Have a nice day!

One of the best of the Tower i've seen.

Hi Alex
Impressing presentation. This many details. Beautiful light.
Anna

Ahhhhh! This gets my PICTURE OF THE DAY AWARD - the most sensational picture that I have critiqued today. This idea/award just came to mind - you're the first to receive it, I think that it is a good idea. I'll keep doing it.
Now this is an example of just perfect lighting and composition and framing. WOW.

Hi Alex,
