Artist's Comments

Built in 1889 this is a snap I took earlier this month in Paris, France. I tried to get an alternative to the "tourist" style photographs of this huge structure. I think that the black and white helps the image, although I did think about bringing the colour back on the Paris 2012 logo. Maybe not though. My dad (a professional photographer) thought that I should have digitally inserted a fake sky, but this is how it was on the day, and I think that the blank white sky only inhances the raw power and sharpness of the final image.

What do you think???

i definitely think the white sky empowers it more, but i do think it would look better if you brought back the color on the logo. All in all, spiffy shot.

Thank you very much for the great comment, I like using this type of angle on this type of thing, when people photograph this subject everyday it is nice to have captured something a little differently.

Thank you, I was just lucky to get the right weather on the day I surpose...I just tried bringing the colour back to the logo in Photoshop and although it makes the logo stand out a lot it does detract a lot of attention away from the structure itself, which the focal point as apposed to the logo.

I like it! However, I disagree with the guy above. Making the logo color would have added a cheezy-photoshop feel. Sometimes less is more. Definatly in this case. Awesome work!

I'm a sucker for a different view of a familiar sight. This is great, and it really shows off the lattice work on the tower.

I agree with you

I need to know something, do I crop more of the top or add more to the right of the image before entry into a photographic competition because it doesnt balance the image in its current state...do you agree or what?!
