[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
4 days of Paris and I really struggled to get some worthwhile images. I'm not much of a city or even street photographer to start with. Then there's my difficulty to motivate myself of taking pictures of things that I've already seen taken before - hundreds of variations, each better than what I know will come out of my camera. Alas, after more than three weeks I finally revisited my Paris folder and will pick out some lone images that I somehow like, not sure if one will include the Eiffel Tower though.

This image was taken in the "Denon" part of the Louvre, can't remember if it is Greek, Roman or even Etruscan. The soft shadows these fragments of an once complete frieze cast on the solid marble wall caught my eyes.

Too bad you couldn't find stuff to capture and pass through your critical eye. But you are right, this one also caught my eye. I love the fact that these fragments are now framed and become art for a second time round. The black and white really adds to the composition. Well done! Just to critique for critiquing, the shadow created by a wall or something cuts the subtle graduation of the shadows on the back wall losing the perfection the rest of the composition. But I guess there’s nothing you could have done.

Thanks for sharing

Seb..

Looking at your workshop, I don't know if it's my screen, but I like the first post better since the WS seems too white... losing the texture of the marble.... really simply could be my screen.. I don't trust it anymore

Hallo Adrian,
ein ruhiges und trotzdem berührendes Bild. Unvollendete oder nur teilweise erhaltene Kunstwerke haben einen besonderen Reiz. Besonders interessant finde ich die linke Skulptur, der Körper des Mannes fehlt fast vollständig, aber die "Seele" ersetzt die Lücke (oder unsere Phantasie).
Super! Christian
