Gary, interesting selection of vantage point, framing the water fountain sculpture with the base of the Tower Eiffel. Posted: 05/03/2024 15:53:42
The grand Eiffel Tower is great! Leave a little wider on the right side of the composition, maybe it would be even better. Posted: 05/14/2024 20:01:19
Gary! We were in Paris at the same time that year… and funny enough, I posted a photo from Paris myself this month. What are the odds?!
I love this vantage point, love hanging out by the fountains when they are in full force. Great clouds in the sky, would like to see more texture, contrast, something there to enhance them.
I agree with Zhicai, centering the Eiffel Tower would help this composition, but I see how you framed the opening with the fountain, there might be a centering issue. And there are so many people there always, especially on a nice day, but that one guy crouching on the right is so unfortunate.
Paris is always a good idea. Posted: 05/15/2024 14:23:37
