[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Again in La Défense, the business district of Paris. Some really beautiful buildings there, such as these towers: le tour "Cœur Défense".

As the sun was slowly setting on my 11 o'clock, the right building reflects nicely in the left one, so I thought this would be a legitimate entry for Smurfie's theme.

Tech talk

Used the crop tool for correction of the perspective distortion.

Levels, curves (used CS3's predefined "darken" setting).

Shadows & highlights: 0, 15; purpose: darkening the blue sky.

Downsized, sharpened & framed with some home-cooked PS actions.

Hello Frank
Looking here a few times..now ..in the morning again...
Frank..I like what you tried to pass on .. only asking myself.. the 'conversion' i.e.:
Falling towards each other of the vertical lines' ..I know.. had this problem often..
There are lenses for this sort of jobs, but VERY expensive..
What could be done in Photo SHop here..
Besides all that.. sharpness .. sky .. refelction .. all spot on!
Have a good weekend U 3 (plus Dingo but to a dog all days are the same ) :-)
Groet
John
ps
Groeten van Jose!
Was hier met mijn Zus een klein weekje en wij waren samen op 'shoot'

I love the way you have captured the reflection of one building in the other.
Superb warm light, fine composition, excellent sharp details (surprisingly so for only f/5.0!)
Great posting

Hello Frank

A well composed capture here, nicely balanced shot with good sharpness and detail. Well spotted reflections and an original idea for the theme

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Hello Frank,
It is sharp, and detailed photo. The vertical format gives feel of hight.
Have to agree with John on little vertical alignment. TFS

Hello Frank

I like modern architecture,
I like the beauty and of the sumptuousness of the modern buildings today.
And this here doesn't leave anything to want in all your construction.
Excellent details, effect in the glasses of the windows and picture of high quality.
Congratulations
