Nice scene - at first look I felt it was very unbalanced, but that sorta works for it, in a way. The whites are a little blown - a less exposed, less contrasty version might have worked better. Keep 'em coming! (Hmm. Must get off my backside and post a few myself.) * mark.thomas.7@gmail.com is quoted * & my replies are inline below : >> This was the view of Sacre Coeur from our hotel room at night >> when we were in Paris.

Oh, I just tried HDR of it to see if I could correct those blown highlights. I have never successfully done one. Whatchya think? http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?img=photos/2007_10_03-Paris/img_3478-hdr.jpg SignatureTroy Piggins Please feel free to provide constructive criticism on any photos I post.

You know what they say - "a true work of art is never completed, merely abandoned" (O; >This was the view of Sacre Coeur from our hotel room at night >when we were in Paris. > >http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?img=photos/2007_10_03-Paris/img_3478.jpg Hi Troy First off it's a lovely photograph Things you may wish to consider next time (if there ever is one that is) Try shooting at Dusk or Dawn instead, rather than once there's no light in the sky. As you can see you have a lot of dead space in the right of the pic, and a little colour and maybe clouds would help retain interest. Also the additional light reduces the highlight blowouts, and allows more to be seen in the shadows. It's a great pic though, I like your sense of placement. Putting most of it to the left makes the photo look balanced, or at least it would were there just a bit more to see, and something to fill that empty space.

I did take some pics similar during the day from the same spot, but the haze in Paris is very ordinary and found it spoiled the view from that distance. > It's a great pic though, I like your sense of placement.
