HIgh in the sky, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

La Défense is the prime high-rise office district of Paris. Many of Paris's tallest buildings can be found here: skyscrapers in all shapes, forms and heights.
It's really worth a visit, if only to catch a glimmer of the modern and contemporary side of Paris, that you don't see on usual postcards.
Walking around La Défense can be visually stimulating, if you find pleasure in exploring modern glass-and-steel constructions.

Hi Eddie,
Thank's for that photo, i had my desk for about 8years at the 20ieme level of the "Chassagne" Tower on the left (name of that part). Alicante was the name of the right part and Agora the name of the center.
I did a similar shot a few week ago but with 3 photos for a sticth, i had too much distortion to prsent the result in TE. Good work for yours!
Regards,
Olivier

Bonsoir Eddie,
It is a very beautiful centring on the tours of the Société Générale. I see that Olivier ( OLF) told everything to you on these two tours! The third (that we do not see here) is almost ended.
I like the way you restored the light and the "shine". The unity of colors is very nice.
Friendly
Diane

Hello Eddie,
Superbe prise!
De l'élégance, de la netteté, un cadrage serré valorisant la symétrie quasi parfaite du sujet.
Bravo pour cette vue encore inédite de La Défense.
Cordialement.

Bonsoir Eddie

Nous sommes nombreux sur TE à avoir été séduits par les tours de La Défense et les avoir mis sur TE : je pense que ici par cette photo : tu nous présentes ce qu'il y a de mieux .

Superbe : c'est du grand art (j'aurai aimé l'avoir faite)
Amicalement
Marc

Bonsoir Eddie
Very good colors and interesting perspective.
A picture technically perfect.
A month or so ago I took a black and white photo of the two towers of the same place.
I think your shot better.
To see my photo
Regards.

Salut Eddie,
vraiment une belle présentation de ces tours, j'aime beaucoup la dominance des tons bleutés, (quelle chance avec le ciel !), les jeux de lumière, superbe graphisme, une photo très attirante et un endroit fascinant. Je suis en train d'en poster aussi, ayant été séduite.

Amicalement
Michèle

Lovely futuristic shot, Eddie, in electric blue tones. The vertical format chosen is very impressive. The symmetry makes it very attractive visually. Well done, Daniel
