Eiffel Tower

It's always good to see a fresh perspective on a well-known icon. This is the kind of image where I say to myself that I wish I could back at dawn or dusk (with a tripod) - but often for practical reasons, I can't. But at the time of day and in the lighting at that time, it comes out quite contrasty. I find the foliage in the lower left distracting, but you weren't about to go pruning, I understand!

I spent literally two minutes with this in PSE 13, and will post the results - not perfect, but gives the idea of lightening the shadows and darkening the sky.

I browsed through your portfolio and see that you are looking for interesting ways to show things, which I applaud.

Is this helpful?

Charles,

What a difference your changes made, especially in the sky. I have tried to play with the software that came with the camera to enhance color. I have a lot to learn. Thank you for taking the time to work on this!

I do like the different angle you take.

The corrected sky does look better. I would also try a B&W conversion as there is anyhow little colour in the image.

Andres, Here is a black and white copy of the photo.  Thank you for your comments.  Marie
