#2 got me thinking for a bit, nice out of the ordinary
did you have any trouble by taking pictures underground? some guards don't like it, was in paris 10 months ago and I was "suggested" not to take pictures in metro stations

melekalikimaka

yup, some driver flipped at me on a stairs about it, kept a bit more dl after that tho...

Yeah its extrememly hard to get something out of the ordinary in Paris, I trawled flickr before I left so I'd know what not to go for

as far as photos of the eiffel tower go, that one is lovely - the branches and vignette add a lot to it I think.

I like #2 as well. It got me thinking for a bit too to figure out what it was.
I like #3 quite a lot good. I think #4 could do with a bit more depth of field.
And the last one... colors!!!

I specificially wanted to minimise DOF in that one, Wider on the DoF was the last thing I wanted when I was composing that, cant figure if its slightly tilted or not, spent ages on it, just staring.

I love the colours and the angle in #2, my favourite by a long way.

I think #3 may have been better had you waited for the lights of an approaching train to be visible, but otherwise I like it.

Caveat: As my own Paris thread attests, I'm no expert!

I like what you did there. But it still just doesn't quite cut it. Its a good photo though. I'm starting to believing getting the tunnel in focus too with more depth of field wouldn't look any thought provoking either.
Maybe if you'ld have taken the picture from further back... Well, i guess for such a shot i'ld try different combination of angles and DOFs to see which one would look the most interesting... But that takes time... Its still a good photo as i mention. Just feels like it could have been better as in really good.

Yeah I'd have liked that too, but i wasnt exactly permitted to shoot there, so I tried keep it suble :-)

I love #4, it just pulls me in, it looks kind of like a tilt shift, but then again not really!

I'm finding it hard to articulate why I like it. It's got a kind of plastic quality which I think should be annoying, and yet I keep coming back to look again.


(Also love #2 btw)

Edit: maybe I like the idea of the choice between the stairs and the corridor to the left, the more I look the more I want to go and explore, the lack of detail is quite tantalising. I need to get out more.

#2 is pretty snazzy I like it.

#4 could do with something in focus, like a busker or bike or something. Your eye is just lead down the tunnel into a lump of unfocus-ness.

the lights at the top...a few are in focus... i wasnt really aiming for much on the shot, i just like the light and shapes more than anything, a busker woulda been nice but i wanted symmetry more than anything else at the time...

Overblood

Yeah the lights are pretty cool but given the nature of the photo I don't really notice the lights, my eyes are naturally drawn down the tunnel.

For light and shapes something along the lines of this (apologies for making bits of your photo) would be cool. Maybe a different angle to include more of the lights.
