A classical view of Notre Dame, nevertheless wonderfully captured! Love the long exposure and the b/w! Bravissimo!

Just terrific. The lighting is remarkable and I love how everything is smoothed out without losing too much detail.

As I've said to only one other member on Am3... If you keep on producing images like this I may just as well throw away my camera!! LOL!! This is truly a standing ovation image, Ian.

This has to be the best picture I've ever saw of that magnificent cathedral. Excellent slow shutter use here, creating a dreamy effect to the clouds. Beautiful. I love how the two towers stand-out bold and loud like that.
