Great lines. Would be a great spot for a long exposure.

Lovely light and composition, Slobodan. The buildings on the right seem to me to be leaning backwards, which is a little disconcerting.

Lovely indeed, SB.
Is that the same sunset you've been carrying around in your gadget bag?

Perfect everything!

Very nice, Slobodan. Can't even call it a tourist picture. It speaks to me.

NICE!!!

I really like the composition. The slightly tilted building on the right doesn't disturb me at all. Perhaps it has to lean back a little bit to balance the heavy weight of the pyramid.

One that I wish I'd taken

Hmmm... tilted building... I do not know, I am often correcting verticals, but somehow, in this case, it does not bother me that much. Perhaps because there are so many diagonals and geometric and perspective distortions in the image that it blends in better?

On the other hand, if corrected, as below, I am losing a bit at the edges, and it makes the image a bit cramped, without room to breathe. What say you?

I say "Leave it alone."

Or, you could straighten up that glass structure at the left. Then nobody would know it was from the Louvre.

I like the original just fine.

When I wrote my first comment I wasn't sure. Now I am. For me the first one works better.

Great shot - dynamic, dramatic and colourful. Nicely seen and executed (oh, right, that was at the Place de la Concorde

.

Beautifully shot.

The original is better. I apologise for setting that hare running: the tilt bothered me but not to the extent of spoiling the shot.

There isn't anything set in stone that says an image has to be "perfect". In this case the original is a fine image that doesn't need "perfecting". One that I would be proud of.
