Gargoyle

It was a long climb, but was it worth it?

 

Any comments are welcome.

The long climbing was worthy, i really like this pic. Well done

Great shot and view over Paris. Wonderful subtle grey tones which I will never be able to achieve with my digital camera.

If there was any camera in 13th century I wouldn't believe that it was taken in 21th century. What a great photo. Jealousy is coming again, though it's not for the first time.

Yes it was worth the climb !

Have you recovered yet ?

A wonderful photo and well worth the climb. Beautiful luminous tonality. I like the relationship between the gargoyle in the foreground and the slightly blurred background. It is the type of photo I would like to take myself. Well done! Dave

Not me, i really enjoy looking at your photos. But the gargoyle really seems to be bored. Maybe because looking after the city for too long. This could be a statement (That in Paris nothing is going on!!! Eh! Eh!). Leaves me wondering. Very Good!

This one goes way beyond the cliched gargoyle-atop-building genre. At first glance, the composition seemed off, but after re-visiting the pic... it makes more sense to me now. The off-putting cramped feeling just adds to its quirkiness...to its soul. Great character, with tons of charm. Thanks for sharing it.

Love your work, Nicholas. If I had to choose just one frame from your portfolio, this would be it. You have it spot on.

Thank you everyone for your kind, keen and observant comments about this photograph. It is a favorite of mine, and I am glad that so many other people enjoy it too.

 

Here is another shot from the same role for comparrison.

 

Kind regards, Nick.

I too love this spot and as you know have a few shots. but, wanted to mention that these are quite nice and have a timless olden days quality that I do not in mine. you did very well here creating something timeless. cheers,

I bet that was one heck of a climb...but yes, it WAS worth it.

 

he looks like a wise old being sitting there, keeping watch and quite bored from seeing history repeat itself time and again...

 

nice lines, nice composition
