It is so tall that getting back down the Champ de Mars provides perhaps the best shot. Often I like the less formal non-symmetric shot from perhap one of the corners, but I don't think you can get this nice clear view of the tower that way. We were here in June and I don't think any of my shots are as good. Posted: 09/05/2022 23:45:13

Thanks, Stan! I have images from those other angles, too. We were in Paris for a week staying with friends in their apartment. We had several days to get to the Eiffel and pretty good weather, too. Posted: 09/06/2022 07:56:43

A classic Parisian photograph, well exposed and tack sharp, I particularly like how you placed the Tower just off centre. Those bright buildings as you look through the base is the Place Trocadero, where I took my Eiffel image with similar weather conditions. Posted: 09/06/2022 14:21:51

David, interesting juxtaposition of the Trocadero Statue and the Tower, which looks like a toy model compared to the Statue. Great photo stacking, focus all the way from the foreground to the most distant point in the background Posted: 09/15/2022 13:06:46

A nice capture where clouds add to the overall impact of the image. Posted: 09/27/2022 08:27:19
