Very nice! Not only one of the most original shots of an unmistakable landmark but also blessed with an orange top against this blue sky - everything in place for a wonderful image!! I love the light up inside the structure.

best wishes Kev

I wonder where she is. Never saw this place in my whole life...
When did you go there? I mean, closer than the view you had got last Saturday afternoon...
Orange and blue march well together. You couldn't miss...

So, obviously, you're back. Or maybe lost somewhere in the twilight zone, but still with an Internet connection! ;-)

See you more next time, I hope... With a camera in hand, eventually.
Dominique

CliffW (2310) 2005-06-25 15:41

LOL Where could she be?? A landmark would help. It's a mystery world and a really funny shot. Nice work and good timing.

Haha, fun photo. I like the posture of the visitor below the distinctive arches of the E.T., and the color contrast in the summer light. Great creative take on this millionfold-photographed subject, Maciek, hope you enjoyed your shooting with some of the local TE folks.

welcome back .. to Cardiff and TE;-)

Hi Maciej,

Wow, amazing. I love your low angle here and the light and composition are beautiful. There is a super effect with the reflected light shining on the underside of the tower. Delightful, and it shows your sense of humour nicely.

mrbialy (2568) 2005-06-25 16:28

Heloo Maciek. This view from France under the structure is really oryginal. Point of view is oryginal to. I like your composition and of course beautiful blue sky in the background. That lady and title is go with to all captured. This structure it maybe Eiffel ?

annagrace (2463) 2005-06-25 16:32

Wow, Maciej, you couldn't miss that orange top if you tried! Great capture of the Eiffel Tower - the light up inside of it is beautiful and I'm so glad you had a perfect blue sky. Fantastic!

Very nice Maciej. Love the low angle and perfect light and color.
The first time I went to Paris I decided not to visit this Cliche. So I stayed away for the three days I was there unitl the last night just past midnight when I was taken there by a friend. I was just stunned to discover how a man-made object of metal can be so mindblowingly beautiful.

Hi Maciej,
excellent and original POV, the lady is very well placed.
I like her posture.
Nice note, too ! ;-)

Robin01 (278) 2005-06-25 20:17

How lost indeed can you be there? Not that much for taking this great picture,

Furachan (0) 2005-06-25 20:51

Well seen, Maciej. Brilliant colo play and use of the wideangle for maximum effect. An original, very cool look at te famous tower. Cheers, Francis

dolin (15647) 2005-06-26 5:08

Hi Maciej
Absolutely superb !!
I awaited your publications of Paris with impatience
I love this so original photograph.
The point of view is remarkable with this woman in the corner.
Colors are superb
congrats
Pascal

summersun (4964) 2005-06-26 17:10

ah ha she's under the legs of a famous french lady !
nice shot, good colors and contrast.

markgong (2840) 2005-06-26 22:09

Exellent framing of the subject with the arch of the leg. Good timing as well. Tourists seem to take most of the photos, but they seem to miss the most unique ones. Nothing really to critique, well done.

I think you should change the category to Decisive Moment rather than having it as Daily Life.

RandomCameraGuy (3063) 2005-06-26 22:24

Hahahahaha!!! this is a great tourist shot Maciej! Excellently composed with the woman positioned in one of the blue gaps. Nice job not including anything other than her and the base of the familiar tower.

alex

kinginexile (2440) 2005-06-27 1:56

Very entertaining angle, Maciej, I like that you came out with something worthwhile, by the judicious placing of your camera.
I think she is not lost, she is looking at the extreme sport Tom photographed near the Tower! :-)))

naxius (16679) 2005-06-27 3:41

Hello Maciej,
So here is your first shot of Paris with Eric?
This one is so good! Very unusual..I never say an image of the Eiffel Tower like this one..
This woman being placed in the left corner is obviously a great add!!
Bravo..
Alex

faubry (32521) 2005-06-27 6:33

Hi Maciej,

congratulation to make such a great pic of one of the most photografied monument in the world.
very graphic composition and good choice of the only and colorful charactere.
Bravo.

Tom

This is cool. A bit of HCB flavor here (yeah, I know, you wanna be like Webb not HCB) with the tourist looking:

1. out of place in this strange environment;

2. trying to figure out which one of these buildings is actually the Eiffel tower.

I really like this framing, I guess she was on the steps or something and you were below her. Also, the fact that we can make out a bit of detail in the metal support of the tower itself is the cherry on top here. Nice and simple image that works quite well. Well done, mate!

RGatward (19751) 2005-07-01 16:51

Mmm, so it seems we jsut missed each other in Paris. Well seen original view. I'll add it to the theme.

teta5 (1201) 2005-07-02 16:42

Swietna perpektywa. Bardzo mi sie podoba kadr. Nie widac calej wiezy, ale wszyscy wiedza o jaka budowle chodzi. Super.
Pozdrawiam,
Aneta

Really nice and good compo Maciej !!
Whan i took my Eiffel Tower picture for
2012 Olympic Games (here)
I had a thought for you ... where is Maciej ?

Thank you
Arnaud

quillerpl (329) 2005-07-06 20:46

Swietne ujecie. Co tu duzo mowic bomba, poza tyt to wszystko co mi sie w zdjeciu podoba zostalo juz powiedziane przynajmniej dwukrotnie dlatego 'nie' bede sie rozwodzil nad rewelacyjnym kolorem nieba rewelacyjnie wspolgrajacym z miejscowo oswietlona 'tajemnicza dla bohaterki' Wieza. Nie wspomne rowniez o zrecznosci z jaka umiesciles kobiete a kadrze. A na pewno nie warto pisac, ze to kolejne Twoje zdjecie w ktorym wszystko niemalze z zegarmistrzowska precyzja wspolgra, szczegolnie kolory, pomaranczowy+blekitny a wszystko to przeciete ciemnym kolorem Wiezy.
Zgaduje, ze zrobiles sobie wakacje od Wyspy.

Pozdrawiam
Jacek

msadventure (632) 2005-07-11 22:07

Ha. This is the most unique photo I've seen of the Eiffel Tower. I bet no one has ever captured a shot as good as this one of this famous landmark. You ought to be proud.

nygus (8077) 2005-07-16 8:08

turysci to wdzieczny temat w takich miejscah i dobrze to rozegrales. nie pamietam kto, ale w Magnum jest ktos kto sie zajmowal dlugi czas fotografowaniem turystow na swiecie

cloverstar (0) 2005-07-21 15:57

I like the unique point of view. The silhouetting of the Eiffel tower really shows the intricate detail of the carved iron work. Very funny shot.

recepyuksel (17786) 2005-08-20 4:42

Very nice...
Perfect compo
good contrast between model and sky
