Nice shot! There's a slight rotation though, consider correcting about 0.75 CCW. Also consider running AutoContrast to increase the contrast a little. Finally sharpen to bring out the detail. I like your composition! Good capture :-)

its a nice view and I like the main part of it. however, the time of shooting made the light cast a blueish fog over the far buildings, and the ppl heads at the bottom are somewhat distracting.
I would love to see the same shot at sunset.
in general, I'd say, lovely scenery - and the crowd is really great.

This is so far the best shot of the La Défense on TrekEarth, congratulations. La Défense is a treasure trove of mesmerising vistas; I look forward to see them. Does the colored water fountain still dance to music?
I remember walking into the deserted dark tunnel being built under this esplanade where now the 10-(?)-lane highway is... I walked in to check it out on a whim of the moment. After the first km I was in pitch black with still no exit in sight so I turned around. The giant, empty (it was a weekend) underground hangar-like cave could have made an interesting picture had a had a camera with a flash... unfortunately, without a lamp, I didn't see a darned thing in the dark. :-)
