Another after work shot... Evening atmosphere in automnal Paris.

Hi Cedric,

Before we comment, could you post a version with the face of the stature figure opened up a tad and also the person walking away in the distance might be made clearer.

I ask this as the meaning of your photograph might depend on these features, which are right now somewhat lost!

Hi Asher,

I see where you are coming from and it is indeed helpful to have a version as you describe. OTOH, I do not think that it is entirely necessary for us to enjoy this fine picture.

@Cedric: I like the image, especially due to the corridor of light into which the man is going. Also, the tonality of the sky and the Eiffel tower is very nice. We then see two statues (lion and the man with a sword towards the right) and a landmark column to complete the picture. I am imagining that this guy is totally oblivious to this extraordinary scene before him and he just worries about the dinner. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Cedric

I'm really with Cem on this one - you can open the shadows, but I'm not sure you need to. I like the evneing atmosphere and too much light breaks that down. I suspect you'd need to do little to the original to make a good print however.

Nice moment, but I think you were waiting in place with the positioning of the Eiffel Tower and the pillar adjacent:)

Hi Cem and Mike,

I think you are right so i finally made a mix between the two first versions, to keep these evening shadows :

I like it Cedric, don't mess with it too much (unless it doesn't print well enough without further adjustments, as written by Mike earlier). It is very good as it is :)

Cheers,

Cedric, I like the first one as is. It captures the ambience of Paris as I remember it and as I want to remember it. In Paris, one should let that which is unseen be an inspiration of it and make one wonder about what it could possibly conceal... the mystery showed be revealed slowly and gently.

But across the pond, there seems to be too much haste!

Well done.
