Eiffel Admirer Photo

Photographer’s Note

It was my first visit to this wonderful city & there
was many many places & buildings I wanted to visit &
photograph, the Eiffel Tower being high on that list.
As you can imagine I took many shots of it & this is the one I like best. Though the statue is of course
made of stone & void of feelings I thought it appeared as though it had,like me it seemed to be in wonder of this engineering feat & was happy to just sit & admire the structure,I believe the inclusion of the statue & the angle I chose for shooting gives this image a little more vitality than if I had taken the Eiffel standing alone.

A great perspective, I myself have taken photo's of the Eiffel Tower but never from this angle. Excellent, regards, Jean

Belle composition originale qui tranche avec les vues classiques de la demoiselle de fer. Si, comme certains l'admettent,on considère le monument parisien comme un symbole phallique, alors la photo prend ici tout son sens avec cette statue qui incarne la virilité masculine.

i have seen a lot of eiffel tower fotos....this is another version with a much greater touch! the sculpture itself is in all awe admiring this gigantic french icon- just as what i had done in my first glimpse of it! an authentic compo, ronald!
cheers from LA.

An interesting and different perspective on an often photographed landmark. Well seen!

marred only slightly by the Montparnasse tower, visible through the arch of the Eiffel tower. I would have tried to obscure it behind the Eiffel tower or even photoshop it out if you don't mind making changes to reality in the name of art :)

Bonjour Ronald,
merci pour cette vue inédite.
Les Parisiens ont pour habitude de l'appeler "la grande dame".
Parmi tous les hommes qui ont été à ses pieds, celui-ci est certainement le plus constant!
Cordialement
Thierry
