Seine River In Paris, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Taking a tour of Paris by boat is unparalleled as romantic experiences go. The city seems to be fanned out before you as you lazily drift down the Seine River or Paris' miles-long network of canals.

By taking a Paris boat tour, you can get a glimpse of some of the city's most mythical spots, enjoy a romantic dinner amid the soft glow of light on the water, or just sit back and revel in the fresh air and delicious floating in a scenic setting.

Hi Barbara,
a nice glimpse on the seine in Paris. Good composition with a small action in the center as contrast to the stagnant walls on the side.

Cze¶æ
Jak widzê rzeka i kana³y przy niej Sekwana czasami bywaj± naprawdê w±skie. Mi³a musi byæ taka wycieczka statkiem po¶ród paryskich bulwarów i zabytkó nadrzecznych. Chocia¿ ja sie przyznam , ¿e wolê bardziej indywidualne zwiedzanie.
¦wietna jako¶æ obrazu.
Pozdrawiam

Hi Barbara,

The distance between the boat and the bridge is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the boat. The light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Il y avait du monde sur ce bateau! Les couleurs sont belles est très estivales. J'aime bien le bateau-restaurant violet au quai avec ses petites tables et ses touristes attablés.

Hello Barbara,

This is a great composition with lots of depth and striking colors. Your POV is perfect. People seem to enjoy the charming beauty of Paris by boat. I liked the purple of the other boat, looks very eyecatching. The overall clarity and sharpness of the shot are excellent too. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes,

Hi Barbara, This looks busy with all these tourists sight- seeing, great Pov, love the colours, great way as you say to view a city, in London their is The Duck, ex Army and it can go on the water as well as drive around the sights, if you have'nt been on it, it's well worth it. Cheers Iain.

A typical "bateau-mouche", a pleasant capture of the daily life in Paris.

Hi Barbara,
These trips on the Paris Bateaux are really splendid, but sometimes the boats gets so full in the summer that is difficult to enjoy the full ride. You got a really great POV showing the boat in a good perspective related to the river ahead. Very nice.

Ricardo

Bonjour Barbara,
une photo très vivante, beaucoup de monde, cela sent bon le tourisme. La Seine, Paris lui doit beaucoup de son charme et notamment ses célèbres balades en bateau.
Regards.
Daniel.

sorry, but it is too far to display a scene from paris.

ikeharel (37254) 2012-04-04 3:37

Good depth along the Seine, with vivid colors and good clearity, Barbara.
Typical view as strolling along, crossing the bridge - mI think this was taken near Pont-Nuef.
Lovely shot, lovely town.
Ike

delpeoples (44904) 2012-04-04 6:40

Dear Barbara

Excellent Point of View and perspective. The wide angle works very well in this circumstance. Beautiful colours and the water trail of the barge creates a superb dynamism.

Thanks for sharing, have a beautiful day

Awesome capture of this canal ride! Good action shot with the wake behind the boat. Great pov and dof with nice details. Well done, tfs.

ChrisJ (86818) 2012-04-04 9:09

Hello Barbara

Reminds me of the Grand Canal in China! Good sharpness too. The river Seine provides superb lead in lines & perspective. A wonderful blue shy with good color saturation. The choppy water adds tonal range. Tfs!
