" Ile de la Cite'"

I concur with Wernher's 7/7....just Wow!

Wonderful! Love your work, W. Regards

I love your work ... wonderful portfolio. Where exactly were you standing? I've been to Paris many times, but somehow I can't place the exact spot. The reflections don't quite seem natural to my eye, given the distance from the buildings.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The answers to your questions are that other than desaturation, sepia, and removal of some branches at the left, the whole thing is a real deal. It was about 7am, quite dark and very rainy. The river Seine is between the bridge at right and the bank where these 2 pedestrians were walking. The camera was set up just touching the water puddle with its front propped up by two Euro coins. I framed the scene first, and waited for people to cruise by. Fired a bunch of frames whenever people passed by while the rain was coming down pretty good. The missing person's reflection at bottom right just happens to be the fact that the lens is 35mm in focal length and that's all it can capture. Had a wide angle adapter, or a wide lens been available, the reflection would be included, but the trade off will be the background and its reflection rendered even smaller. BTW, it was approx. 1/2 sec. rather than 2, my fault (still can't get exif info from pix on desktop.) I'll post another version with single pedestrian soon. Thanks. ^_^

Very creative,congrats!!!

Another great one Wilson. Maybe completely desaturated to true b& w could be even better. 7-7

...thank you for your feedback. Appreciate it. ^_^

Always a pleasure to view your work, Wilson. Many interesting shots lately with reflections, this one being one of my favorites. Best regards.
