Artist's Comments

I really love the architecture of the La Defense district of Paris. It really contrasts most of Paris' architecture in that it is so modern, and so massive. I really like this building, mainly because of it's simplicity. This smooth glass tower is repeated several times, and creates great reflections. I'm also pretty happy with how the internal lights reflected on other parts of the building.

Very nice, as always you did a super job. Only way i think it could look better would be if there were some clouds or something in the sky, but hey, your not God.

Well done!

:w00t: La Défense, i love it, i lost my head and i broke my camera when i was there photographing like a mad :D . A stunning perspective and you got it at a perfect time of the day, catching the lights inside and the fading blue light outside. The reflection in each other is very nice too. Very good photo! I wonder why the sky got that banding.

I agree...I like not having clouds in this one. The perspective is mind blowing. Wonderful shot. Hope all is well at school. :D

thanks for the comments! I think I would've cried if I hadn't had my camera when I was there. I was partially there for a school project, so many of the pictures were weird abstract organic photos of plant stems and stone corners.

I didn't even notice the banding until you mentioned it... I think it's honestly a gradient that turned bad when I edited the image. Silly banding. You have an excellent eye for detail. You're welcome to point out flaws in my photos anyday!

I only knew i had broken my camera when i saw the darkened rolls of film later... :disbelief: :cries:

Yes it is, sometimes a combination of filters give that effect like softening and sharpen combined. A decrease in the number of colours too but i think it wasn't the case here. If i'm helping it makes me glad :)
