Paris, Palais Royal

I like this a lot. The edge at the top left is annoying. I would be interested to know if this was the only version of the shot you took.

Please feel free to rate / comment on / critique any of my photos.

Yes that's me in the reflection.

The top left shadow annoys me also. I must admit I didn't notice it when I shot the picture.

I could clone it of course, but instead I plan to go back when the weather will be similar, and possibly shoot a little bit more from above to fill the frame with the bowls.

Thanks for your comments.

That's funny, I've posted almost the same picture 3 days ago :

I'm agree with you for the shadow ;-(

I had no idea how tiny you are...just kiddin'! Hey, I like it as is, but would it be even better to crop it tight? This way, you keep the merit of your capture, but still eliminate that top left shadow and add more impact, just MHO. Take care, BTW, I don't recall balls like this at Palais Royal, where exactly are they?!

Yes I have considered the cropping option but I don't like it if the top balls are cropped. I guess I'll have to go back and frame the shot a little bit less hastily.

The sculpture is between the garden part of the Palais Royal and the square with the b&w colums by Buren. There are actually two similar sculptures.

Thanks for your comment.

Tres belle photo! Cela montre que meme en voyant la meme chose avec presque le meme appareil, le talent fait le reste (enfin je debute avec le FM)... je m'incline!
