Wow! If that's natural light. it's outstanding. Very bloody well done.

Nope. No tourist would balance this picture so exactly over the bridge pillar. I don't believe in coincidence.

Definitely better than the average tourist shot, Slobodan.

Good job on relegating the traffic to a minor component and bringing forward a great landscape.
Does the sun in Paris always set in corners?  ;) I think you showed us a Paris sunset like this a while ago.

Good memory... the two shots were taken just one minute apart, with just a twist of the zoom, so it is the same corner. The only hardship was that I had to endure constant whining of my then 10-year old daughter: "Dad, how many more shots you have to take of that stupid bridge!?"  :)

I do not go for cut & paste skies, Seamus, so it was all there, hidden in the file. Just a matter of processing and pulling it out. :)

And yes, it was one crazy sky that evening (taken five minutes later):

And I thought you just brought that sunset with you in your suitcase, to pull it out as needed.  ;)

Definitely too good for a tourist shot.

Great photo and definitely more than a tourist shot.
