Probably the most unique take on the Eiffel. Wonderful feel and eye - congratulations with a most superb image. The mood here you can touch. Would love to see more of your Paris work.

Of all images of the Eiffel Tower I've seen so far, this is one of the few worthy of a movie director.
Just stunning!
Laurence Garçon  That photograph is a part of a serie done during 30 minutes. This one is my favorite but the 20 photographs of the whole collection are very special too, each one with a particular people scene in that incredible misty morning mood.

Your comment really touch me....
Thank you very much Catalin.

This has an almost apocalyptic feel to it as they all march into the unknown. I love that this is straight from the camera and shot into the light. Magnifique!
Laurence Garçon  Unique light and unique moment... for sure.
I'm glad that you appreciate it Deborah.
Thank you.

Splendid creative photograph of this otherwise very common motive, the atmosphere you have created here is just surreal!
Laurence Garçon  Thanks a lot Ralph, glad that you like it !
Pure Photography at its BEST! Great job.
Laurence Garçon  I wonder what you could do with it ;-) I love so much your creations.
Thanks a lot Angela ;-)
Angela Bacon-Kidwell  Ha! I already have imagined an image! That is how my brain works! :)
But, this is amazing by itself.
wondeful shot - and even more wonderful as it is with a so-well known and photographed pace in the world and yet brings a new perspective on the place - wonderful!
Laurence Garçon  As a street photographer, you know how it is hard to imagine new ways to photograph the places which we often see frequently... I tried ;-) Thanks a lot for your comment Serban.
Boris Godfroid  And you absolutely succeeded! Great!

votre photo est magnifique, non seulement dans sa réalisation mais aussi dans son idée.. les silhouettes noires légèrement penchées en avant, comme muées par une force invisible qui les attire vers le même endroit sont surréalistes.. le contre jour et l'angle de prise de vue sont absolument parfaits.. vraiment bravo. ce n'est pas qu'une belle photo..
Laurence Garçon  J'ai longtemps attendu le bon moment, tout particulièrement le bon jour, pour réaliser cette photographie. A contre-jour, éblouie dans le viseur, il m'était difficile de cadrer. Le soleil grimpait, la brume s'effilochait... j'ai bien failli repartir bredouille ;-) Je tiens énormément à cette photographie et vos compliments me touchent beaucoup. Merci.

Strong composition and light mastering. The contrast between the misty Eifel tower and the dark shadows give a strong visual impact
Laurence Garçon  As I have the chance to live in Paris, I can wait, and wait, and wait... till the right day, the right moment. It has been a real pleasure for me to get this "instant". Thanks for your comment Jef.

I so love this - it is like some surreal pilgrimage to an icon! Wonderful, Laurence, just brilliant!
Laurence Garçon  A "Surreal pilgrimage"... I love that idea, some how, it is absolutely true. Thanks a lot Scott.
