Hi Mark !

A very interesting and beautiful by carrying them.
With a great contrast of colors.
We welcome the TL, much success, many points and pleasant comments.
Have a beautiful weekend,
Adrian

Hi Wats,

Nice composition in this image, I like the sepia finish, the cloudy sky really helps to add the drama and add texture!! Plus it gives a nice soft light!

The only thing I would do is to crop part of the foreground. The addition of people in the picture helps to give scale when compared with the tower. So, I croped out 2 to 3 cm and cloned out the man who is showing us his nice back ;)

To visualize better the above I did a workshop foryou, hope you like it!

Cheers

Karen

Hi Mark,
I like the view of the Eiffel Tower as you captured it, but I think that there are too many distractions in the photo.
I think sepia is well chosen with this image as it gives this scenery a touch of the old noblesse.

I tried to clone out most of distractions in a ws in order to show what I mean..
I hope you don't mind me playing with you photo. regards, heike
