Rainy day in Paris...

a shot through pyramid (Louvre)...any comments welcome...

Yumm! This has an olde-worlde feel to it with the subtle toning and lovely raindrops. The movement of the people brings it to life. The only thing I'd suggest is to crop off some of the blank sky at the top.

It is a beautiful shot, full of life. All elements are very well-balanced in the composition, and the grey scale is superb. I enjoy the subtle colours, too. Congrats.

beautiful

Paris is still the place that teaches the artists Vision.You got it !!

Gorgeous.

Great. I love how you managed to get the detail of the drops and the blur of the background.

Thank you for all comments....

I can only gush with praise over this image. Despite my being somewhat jaded from looking at so many drop jaw georgeous images on this site, I am still overwhelmed by your achievement here. Again, as is true with so many of your images, the sum more than overwhelmes the parts or the method. It is an image at once lovely in its own right, but also as a metaphor for Paris, that lovely, enigmatic, romantic city. One can see Sommerset Maugham hurrying through the drizzle, tucking under his arm the first draft of "The Razor's Edge", or Picaso peering out into the rain, laughing at the world as he devised new means to do violence to its expectations and norms, or Rodin chiselling away at yet another unfinished, but ultimately compelling monstrosity, or Maria Schneider traisping through the rain, her lovely head occuppied with fascinated trepidation on the brooding Marlon Brando, tucked away in a dark corner of her apartment like a creature from Dante Aligheri's Inferno.

Thank you Emmanuel....like your comment very much...just one thing....My name is not Jeff!
