Seine river at sunset

The Seine river becomes like the motorways,: very congested at peak hours

Nicely done.

Thank you John

Very nice image Jean.

Thank you Mark.

The weather was fine so a picnic on the Seine river was romantic?

The first image upper half and lower half does not match, even though i like those part separately.... i really like the romance in the second

Lovely image... Although there are many photogenic cities in Europe, IMO Paris and Venice are possibly the most picturesque...

Nandakumar, thank you for your comment
I cut the upper part of the sky which is clear blue so the water reflects the light.
I maybe forced a tad on clarity tool

You should have put that in its own thread. It's a superb image, in my opinion. As if stimulated and informed by HCB.

[Mike Buckley]

Agreed with Donald. Interestingly, the bright tones in the woman's dress appear too bright when viewing the image at the size automatically displayed in the thread. However, when viewing it at its largest size, those tones seem very appealing.

Image one is very nice, but as you mentioned it may be a bit heavy on clarity?
Really love the second image!
Paris is a beautiful City.

Another photogenic place, but not very well known, is Slovenia.

Thank you Richard,
I know I'm lucky to have an apartment here in Paris where I can come as I want, we no longer have an obligation to stay in Lorient (Brittany), my mother-in-law and my mother died a few months ago.

Thank you Donald for your encouragement and comparison
Just below I'll post another picture I like to show you ( and everybody)

Thanks Mike, effectively her dress seems too bright, nevertheless I checked the histogram nothing overexposed.
She wears a very bright shirt

# 3 Enjoy the view or chat on a bench for a small rest (she has a cap/sunshade visible on her left)

[IzzieK]

I kinda like the light in #1 hitting that side of the castle. The river sure is heavy traffic. Interesting find.
#2 is excellent as I like the way you framed that couple.
#3 Is nice too but my favourite is #2. Best one!!

[bje07]

Thank you Izzie
# 3 is too dark and personages are melted in the stones.
.... and Sharon I forgot, sure, clarity is too heavy.

[Rainforest]

I'm so glad I didn't miss these Jean. You captured energy and vibrancy of a beautiful city in that first image. #2 is super! I already have three stories in my head about the couple. #3 is close but not quite there as you say.

Thanks Susan.Another walk tonight, maybe some other pics for tomorrow?
