Such a fine composition. The rail in the foreground echoes the pyramid so well. Nice work.

Pretty cool. An oft-photographed subject being photographed often in the frame. With such strong lines I'm confused about what the subject is...the photographers or IM Pei's pyramid? It's a good sort of confusion to have, not the bad kind. Excellent and unique perspective.

Great shot Ian! Love the angles.
And congrats on your new website! Looks good, and hope it proves profitable for you! I'll soon have my own site ready shortly (Only a gallery based one though).

The apart drifting lines open the picture for the viewer. You have chosen a fantastic perspective.

Cool point of view. I have never seen it from that angle before.

Vincent Bertrand from Montréal, Canada
Superb composition and work with the perspective lines to give another inverted triangle complementing the pyramid. The girl makes this shot work even better, giving a sense of dimension and composition element to "sit" (no pun) the left-most portion of the frame. Great, great work!

Hi Ian,
This is an excellent picture with great composition. I also like the 'Winter Mist' and '1958 Munich Air Disaster' pictures.

I read what you wrote on my dear Hugo Poon page and came back to you - not the first time i enjoy my tour in your wonderful portfolio, Ian. There are gems ! And a great variety of subjects, angles, compositions that all prove you have much more than a couple of eyes ~ love that. Thanks*
(love the geometrical compo, in today's pic, with the dialogue between reverse triangles). See you...

Very nice black&white and the capture and framing are well calibrated

The triangle in front of the pyramid like that make an interesting composition. The woman photographing adds great life to the shot. THis is really well done and not the common shot. BTW... I really wish I was there enjoying the museum right now.

wow! What a stunning composition! I really like this wide angle shot, the triangle taking us through the frame. Outstanding in every way.

You took a place that is photographed so much and turned it into something special. Great work!

This is a great perspective and B&W is very good. A friend of mine was thrown out of here recently for being dressed as Elvis!!
