Lovely viewpoint. There are so very many pictures of the Eiffel Tower and yet you've shown me one that I hadn't seen before with the inclusion of the signs and the tree to really add additional interest. Excellent!
J'adore! Noir et blanc...c'est parfais! Yea, a nice shot for this challenge. One suggestion is to stick with one or the other, arrows or no arrows. Nice shot hope it does well.
I think this has been standing for far longer than was intended or expected. Whatever, it is a symbol of strength in its way. An example of good construction too.
Le Tour Eiffel is very popular this week. Well, i've seen two so far. I actually saw it for the first time myself this time last month... Very impressive it is too, and particularly photogenic. I must ask, why have you included the signage in the frame? There are lots of viewpoints which are sign free, and I really do not think that the signs adds anything to your shot. Most people would know it's in Paris (apart from Lancashirians who might think it's Blackpool Tower) so a point of reference really isn't needed. Also, the tree is getting in the way of the view... Pity that the sky is overcast too, but there's little you can do about that. 5.
I'm glad you entered this magnificant shot in black and white, because I have a feeling the sky was not your friend when you took the image. You have captured the power of this structure well. Good luck.
Amazing photo. Great POV, DOF and composition. Did you use an AV filter on this shot? If not, it might have helped reduce the hazing effect towards the top of the tower. Fantastic job.
