Hi Prantik,

very good idea! I like a lot the composition with the different dressing colors. Blur works well.

TFS!

Cliché? Man, this is anti-cliché. Absolutely the most excellent photo of the Eiffel Tower I've ever seen. Fantastic.

(Just to stop gushing, I'm going to advise you to fix the sensor dust spot in the upper right corner, and maybe also that tiny triangle of black in the lower left corner.)

Welcome back, Prantik. Bienvenue.

-Hugh

Hi Prantik,

Nice composition, I like your idea of POV and framing. It lacks a little of sharpness on the man on the right but I like your shot anyway...

Regards,
Stéphanie.

Brilliant, gutsy, anti-cliche. That lone Eiffel Tower glowing warmly in the misty winter fog by these two men is a virtual apparition...Hugh is of course right (when is he NOT? ;)
Love it. Into my fav list.

P: I guess one of the most powerful approaches to photography is to illustrate the old, the familiar 'in a new way'. Powerful approach and creativity do just that here. It's a great image - and you have dust on your sensor. regards, c

Hello Prantik
Very well done
the point of view in itself is original for such an overphotographed place, I really like the presence of the silhuetes
very well done
Regards
Daniel
