Ah, the Louvre, I haven't been in a long time but I like this capture of it, so empty, usually when I was there it was during the day and full of people.

It's my sentimental side writing now. This brings me up many memories, so sepia tones are perfect in this mood. It's a nice photo and would make a very interesting "affiche".
I wonder how you were able to avoid people, I guess it was late o very early, surely cold.

Parlez-vous francais? Tres bon. Je n'aime pas les oranges et la plume de ma tante est sur le bureaux.

Great POV on this oft photographed landmark. I'm glad you kept the little car to provide a sense of scale.

03/15/2009 09:47:32 AM
I love the twinkle of the lights. Very sharp. Nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:26:51 AM
This is a really interesting subject, though I have seen it on DPC many times before. To me, those streetlights stand out more than the pyramid, which is unfortunate.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:19:05 AM
Like the row of lights, the pyramid, and the Louvre in almost darkness. Very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:03:03 PM
I really like the repeating lines of the lamp posts. A nice night shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. The widescreen cinema border complements the photo for it takes on the feel of a film. A ol' style B&W film to be specific with the camera panning in on the scenic street scene near the Louvre. There is some real beautiful architecture in this photo. I like how you composed it such that the Louvre's pyramid is in the center of the shot and as such it dominates and captures the attention instantly. I also like how you have it where the lampposts act as a leading line that goes the vanishing point off into the horizon.

This could easily be ad copy. Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:42:55 AM

The pyramid never looked this gorgeous! Love the star filter on the lamps. GREAT lines with the lights and the pyramid. I like the bit of detail from the Louvre roof. Haunting and gorgeous.

Nicely composed and edited. I like how the lightposts lead the viewer down the walk.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:29:21 AM
Lovely, but I can't help but feel that it's 2/3 of a pic. Might be worth cropping in to the edge of the main dome.

Nice star effect! Is it the fog that has made this a little flat looking? Otherwise a nice scene.

Nice view, good exposure and I love the star burst effect. I'm not a big fan of wide shots with top/bottom framing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:37:14 AM
the light make a great leading line. On the right you have a bit of a building sticking out, which is a little distracting.
