p.1 #1 · Paris - Eiffel Tower Night Shots - C&C Please!!
Well now that I'm home from my backpacking trip across Europe I need some advice on some of the pictures - first up are some shots of the Eiffel Tower at night. Comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.
Picture #1 is the original with no PP, picture #2 and #3 are both edited - though I can't decide whether I like the light to the right of the frame in the picture or not.
Let me know what you guys think - this is my first time really asking for critiques on this forum, so slaughter me if need be. I'm here to gain perspective on my photos and hopefully learn from everyones advice, so don't be bashful . Thanks in advance fellow FM'rs!!

These are nice but you are making several mistakes that diminish feedback - you are making the pictures too big for fitting on one 19" monitor which means that I have to scroll up and down to get it all in, you are posting too many pictures in one theme and then people feel too intimidated to give feedback and you are posting too many at once.
1 is nice - I would clone out tree on right and flare that looks like a comet. I would also turn the sky bluer and less purple. I would crop off the wall at the bottom. But a good picture.
2 I like better than 1 because it is vertical but same comment on wall at bottom and color of sky
3 looks the same as 2 without flare. I like 2 better.
4 is nice but I would make sky bluer and darken the building that is peaking through the trees. I think with these changes I would like better than 2 because it seems to be complete top to bottom.

Thanks scott - I was waiting for you to comment since you seem to be the guru of the critique forums :-P
And your right about the size of the pictures - I use a 24inch wide screen, so I forget not everyone has such a large monitor. Thanks for your comments - they are very, very much appreciated.

Why aren't the tower lights on? For some of your later shots could you have (or did you) waited until the tower lights were on or the tower "sparkle" lights were turned on? When I was there this time last year the "sparkle" lights were turned on at the hour for a few minutes. For example,

No lights were on because the shots were taken at sunrise @ around 6am and one was taken at night around 3am.
We didn't have a place to stay one of the nights we were in Paris so we slept on a bench under the tower. Just never made it to the tower while the lights were on - to much other stuff to do
. Thanks in advance fellow FM'rs!!
