wow!

the contrast of this photo makes this look like a pop-up book! The 3d-ness of this photo is very cool.

Aside from that, you captured a very cool scene.

I would consider cropping out just a tiny bit of the clouds at the very top of the photo.

very nice shot. I like this square B&W.

Beautiful Paris

There is a lot to like about this one but given that exremely hard light you obviously had to compromise technically and that shows which is really a shame.

Thanks for the comment. You're totally right. Nothing doing - couldn't work out the greys to balance things out. Kinda spectacular from afar, though...

Fine! It looks like mass destruction to me. Soft (and dark) clouds make that themselves! No ratings, since I do not them anymore. a s l a

C'est magnifique!!!

Clouds contrast,dream in up and reality in dawn ,perfect pectur,I love that deep.

Paris 8. I just love it.Sharp and strait,energytic and relaxed, beautiful composed..who am I...did you take it in B&W?

This is simply a fantastic shot. Congratulation for this creative work. I have only one question - "There is strong reflection of inclined light at the right from all the buildings indicating early morning or evening sun". The same relection of light is not visible from the cloud. Can James please throw some light over this? This may be a very rare oppertunity to view such a contrast. Regards, - Dilip.

This looks like a composite. The lighting of the clouds does not seem to match the directional light on the buildings. Looking at the large version, the clouds continue straight to the horizon and even appear to overlap the distant buildings. Am I right?
