Was in Paris for business a couple of weeks ago and managed to get an evening free to hike around the city a bit with my camera. This is the pyramid in the Louvre courtyard at dusk. The biggest challenge was getting the composition with no people in view.

Three exposure HDR, handheld with Nik ColorFX Pro in post.

    Cool shot, what lens did you use (how wide)?

    Hey Frank: I was there last week as well. I feel your pain in getting a people free shot. I had the courtyard almost to myself until the blue hour came, then everyone came out of nowhere!

    Here is my shot:

    I really like your wide angle shot!

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Hey Zanotti .. love your shot. I get to Paris a lot and I've tried various angles and compositions with mixed success. Here's another one:
