Palais Royal Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of best examples how former architecture is being merged with contemporary art in Paris. Those mirror spheres were put in the middle of old architecture. This may look strange at the beginning, but finally - a new style arises, which may be interesting too, and surely - shows that the process of creation didn't stop in such places.

Because the weather was poor that time, the photo was rather strongly processed with curves in three parts separately - upper half, bottom shadows and middle spheres. Finally - icreased a bit saturation and some of NeatImage for a whole. The original version is posted as workshop.

Interesting picture and good PP work, Piotr! I like the play of DOF here comb combined with the blurred pilars. The cameraman is a bit not in place, though a different passing figure surely would be in place to add another dimension to this picture.
The work of PP is astonishing good! it is very hard to identify the different changes in this post and only when looking at the original oyu can appreciate the work you have invested here!

Hello Piotr, great idea that you have had here, although I find the top half of the picture rather distracting from the mirrored balls. Perhaps a tighter shot of the balls themselves with the reflections of the old building in them would have been better.
