A wonderful and, once again, unusual perspective -- hard to find a shot of the Louvre that hasn't been done 1000 times but you have managed. Love the inclusion of the seated figure adding a little human interest to the repeating patterns and lines of the image. Great tones, too. #1309642Patti Coblentz September 19, 2010
Excellent composition, tones, and details...the man serves to complete the frame and adds, as Nikki said, a human touch to the magnificent repeating lines and angles! #8917544Jillian Danielson September 19, 2010
Beautiful Katarina! #8917545Mitch Spence September 19, 2010
Oh, I do like that frame, Katarina. The two round low posts are great in the foreground. We stop at those, wander down the long walkway past the lamps, and then circle back up the line of columns, and then have that delightful surprise, with the man sitting there looking at us. #8917575John Rivera September 19, 2010
