Paris - Seine and Eiffel tower at night

Taken last week from the pont Mirabeau, looking north up the river Seine.

It's not quite as sharp as I'd like pixel peeping, didn't have a stand so was balancing on edge of bridge, petrified of the camera falling in the drink!

Can't decide whether the buildings on the right are considered distracting or not. In a way they are, but then I think they all add to the cityscape of Paris.

C&C welcome

Très bien!

Nicely composed, and the traffic trails on the left work well to balance the buildings on the opposite bank.

Really wanted to have been taken a little earlier though, to get some colour in the sky and a bit of detail in the buildings.

Pretty cool idea since most people have the same generic shots of it up close, I like this a lot and great exposure.

Something is distracting as it looks crooked and out of level...optical illusion ?

I was there from Thursday through Sunday but not for making images I like this. I did get a few through the day but I would have liked a walk at night.

Beautiful shot, as somebody else pointed out the light trails look fantastic on this.

really like that, I would get that one displayed

Thanks. I really need a wider angle. 24mm isn't enough!

I can try one night if I can leave work early enough to get some colour in the sky. Now the clocks have moved forward and the days are getting longer, it should be possible

Excellent shot, nicely balanced. I too would like to see an earlier take with a bit of light on the buildings, but this will do very nicely for now. Makes me want to go back there again!
