Critique welcome, thank you.

Wonderfully dramatic.

 

I would have corrected the slight tilt on the railing but that's a minor point.

 

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

... expect Depardieu and Adjani to come out of the door looking for a cab. Lovely soft palette.

I can sense the moist air oozing from this scene on my skin. Turns me on romantic mood, this is what Parisian scene is supposed to be. The blackness of the FG railing and those tiny sharp highlights add nice contrast, sense of presence, being there, to this dreamy scene. Simply lovely, charming.

I am turning as green with envy as that stanchion in your last image. You've just captured such a mood here. And, of course, you are the king of neon.

Wonderful mood. A finely made image. Regards...

Three distinct pieces, all of them good. This again plays a graphic shape against I slightly misty background to wonderful affect. The colors....well, you're the man, but here I especially love the reflected light from the neon signs on the paving stones.

Alberta: thank you very much for your kind comment. I think you're right about the tilting railing. Basically, I made a compromise and finally settled to get the wall on the right side straighter.

 

Dennis: thank you so much for stopping by and commenting on my Fontenay picture. I see we share the same interest in history and old Abbeys, cathedrals and churches. I have plenty of architecture shots I've never posted so far.

 

Markku: thanks for inspiring me. Your beautiful night shots made me feel like going out in the evening again.

 

David, thank you so much. I'm glad you like these. I can tell you I've just been very impressed by your lastest postings. Great shots.

 

Joseph: thank you very much. It's been a pleasure having you here lately.

 

Jack: thanks. There was a lot of fog yesterday evening in town so I grabbed the camera for some more classical shots. I'm glad you like'em.

 

 

We all like your recent images,Laurent. Fog has magical effect on light and colours.

Hi, Laurent. your recent works are excellent. beautiful, creative with a nice mood. so nice to see such a passionate photographer. congrats.

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

I missed this one the first round...superb colors and misty mood Laurent...it's both modern and vintage (the neon letter graphism)...I really appreciate how the front barrier offers a subjective PoV...superb...

Beautiful light and colors, nicely composed as well. Like it.

Thank you very much for the kind comments. I'm glad you like it.
