I was fortunate to turn a stop over in Paris into a short photo excursion. Took several of this (overdone) icon - but found these to be much better in B&W. Hope you enjoy.

I like them-it's a different perspective than the usual.

It isnt easy to find new ways to capture this icon
First looks almost like a set of murals. Unusual aspect ratio,but it works
The sky and symmetry play make the second
The third is my favorite: dreamy, surreal. And you wisely did not correct the verticals.
Fine work, excellent trip!?!

Rod - thanks

Scott - Yes, an excellent trip. I actually planned this as a 3 day stop-over on my way to Russia. Glad I did. Thank you for your comments.

Really like the first Todd, that has some pretty nice architectural detail in the foreground as well.

Nice shots. These spots are icons for a reason. I don't believe that we can 'overdo' them for ourselves.

Really diggin' the use of non-tower formal symmetry to complement the tower with additional strength ...

Wondering if you might have a little more space at the bottom of #1

Thanks everyone for your kind comments - I appreciate it.

Rusty - my intent was to shoot the 1st a bit wider (including a bit more on the bottom). Unfortunately, the French decided to put up metal barriers along the street (Tour de France?), which added nothing to the image - so I tried to crop them out without cutting too much from the image.

I like these, even if it is a "tired subject".
I was there in April, and tried to do something different with it too. It's a worthy enough subject IMO. Well done.

Nice. Particularly like the first one as I have never seen anything like that viewpoint of it, plus its a very nice photo.

Careful. The owners of the Eiffel Tower can be a bit litigious when it comes to people publishing images of what they consider to be a copyrighted structure....

I really like all 3 of these. #2 is probably my favorite.

For #3, I really wish you would have fixed the keystone distortion. For an architectural image like that, straight lines really should be straight.

Great series! A completely different perspective than I am use to seeing. I really have a hard time picking a favorite here, they are all very nice. I do agree that I would fix the distortion on the third image.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again everyone for taking the time - I appreciate all the comments. As for the distortion - I guess I got caught up with the overall look (with the distortion). I'll go back and see how things look with a little photoshop magic.

The third image my favourite. I love how the Eiffel Tower looks small in the distance. The only thing that I feel would make this better is if there were people on the square in front of the towel. The people would give the tower a sense of scale.
