Hi Steve,

As always, I eagerly went to look, expecting wonderful Paris images, and
was not disappointed.

This is a real classic. I would have liked to see a bit more of the river,
but of course if you had turned the camera to the left, the kissing couple
would have been squished against the edge of the picture. The contre-jour
works beautifully in this image.

I am not a big fan of tilted pictures shot with wide angle lenses. This one
is better than most because the long strip of grass is almost parallel to
the edge, but I am still bothered by it. The city does look beautiful from
this vantage point.

Now, here you have really COMPOSED (no pun intended). The framing is
absolutely perfect, from the poster in the upper left hand corner to the
left hand of the player on the right. Wonderful. This place--Frog &
Rosbif--is that a venue for jam sessions on Sundays?

Nathan
