Wow, what expressive colours. I like the composition. This old sign with it´s black surrounding in contrast to the house in the background is a nice idea,

Great cropping but maybe too high on the intensity of color but then again maybe not. I don't know. Score 9/13 (from the Judgment Day group)

Great - love the strong contrast, saturation and sharpness - i've tried to take similar pictures myself, but my camera was stolen before i got back to the UK.

ben: sorry for you camera! Nice work, sky is blown up, a bit to much processed, but very good composition I must give you that! 5.5/7 from MiRea's Realm group.

To me this has a feel of artistic expression. I personally love the over all look. the composition is nice.

Perfect!
I like this a lot!
(maybe just a little too much color in the upper right)

What beautiful color and texture! The composition isn't as strong as it could be...if you had included a little more of the building behind the sign (possibly to the right) I think it would have been more interesting. The light play on the sign is great, showing the great detail in the sign's scroll work, but the upper right and left corner's of the frame are blown out.

the sign is great, the composition interesting, but the sky really too overblown.
From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 5.5/7 ranking.

I like the metro sign, and I like the Parisian house - but they seem to distract from each other here.
Still the idea was a good one, and it evokes Paris for me.
Kiwitui [deleted] (52 months ago)

Nice big photo. Very unusual perspective/composition. Does the trick for me.
From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 6/7 ranking.

J'aime en particulier la perspective et l'ensemble des couleurs qui réhaussent les formes... Paris, c'est bien evidemment Paris... une ville à y retourner pour redécouvrir ce que le temps nous oblige à oublier!
@Merci bien, Pedro, l'invitation pour joindre ce groupe en particulier - c'est très intéressant l'Art Nouveau! (À ne pas manquer le musée à Salamanca, aussi).

I love the real taste of Paris this shot gives :-) Love the wrought iron scrollwork on the sign too.
ElaineHudson [deleted] (28 months ago)

Love the historic Metro sign in the foreground, and the historic building in the background. Gives an enchanting feeling of the "old" Paris.
