... as in Eiffel Tower, of course - Paris' famous landmark. Took this one from the Champ de Mars, when I noticed the tower framed by these trees I couldn't resist ;o).

I couldn't capture the base of the tower from my PoV, as there were lots of people about and I wanted to avoid those.

Tech talk

In-camera compo. The tower is tilted, I know - but I don't care ;o). I tried straightening it, but for me that doesn't work at all.

Curves. No tweaks in the levels this time.

Downsized and framed with some recorded PS actions.

Hoi Frank,
Excellent capture of the Effel tower. Never see this view. Superb sharpness and an attractive composition. Particular the graduate blue tones from light to dark makes it an outstanding image.
Goeie soep Frank!

Hello Frank, a classic to say the least but it's well done. Maybe a tad OE on the tower itself but the polarizer made the sky spectacular. Thanks!

Mario

Knap hoe de metalen constructie door de bomen heen komt. Goeie framing en knappe blauwe lucht.
Fijn gedaan

Hi Frank

A superb shot of the Eiffel tower, with fantastic sharpness, colour & graphism. Tfs!

Grappig ... " Home ! ... "
Wel, vind jou Pov wel goed : eindelijk eens een ander origineel plaatje van die staalreus !
Goeie compo ook met die bomen én mooi verloop van dat blauw :
van licht naar donker boven
en boven IS het donker daarom hebben we ET nog maar éénmaal gezien ;-)
