Beautiful! Looks like a scene from a medival story ... any moment now you can see flying dragons around the tower ;)

@Monique: You're right Monique... there's something gothic and medieval about it... Notre-Dame de Paris is a beautiful gothic cathedral... very inspiring too...
Riccardo from - Lyon - Isola Liri -, France
Le détail de la signature je la trouve très jolie. Le N&B c''sst un choix très bien réussie...C'est un HDR non? En tout cas c'est une photo presque "Dantesque". Ciao, Riccardo.

@Riccardo: Non, ce n'est pas du HDR... j'aime ton allusion à Dante... merci à toi.

les ténèbres au propre comme au figuré ! belle composition avec un bel effet de ciel éclaté !

@Namaki: J'aime beaucoup en ce moment re-travailler mes photos de Paris dans ce sens... et puis ces temps derniers, le ciel s'y prêtait particulièrement... Merci de ton commentaire.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Hugely gothic, a superb piece that is at once both moody in its representation, yet still somehow like science fiction, fantastic.

@Richard_Irwin: Gothic, that's it... I was searching for the relevant definition... Thanks Richard for your sweet and friendly appreciation.
@rem_la: C'était l'effet recherché !

marianne from France
plus que des ténèbres, je sens un étau se refermer sur mes poumons ... les deux pieds au premier plan, on dirait qu'ils se rapprochent !!!
c'est magnifique !!! cette flèche semble vouloir en sortir de ces ténèbres ...

Bon. Pas facile de commenter après toutes ces gens. Allons-y de la première impression : sensas. Un ciel dément qui est en accord total avec la dentelle gothique de la cathédrale.
En y regardant plus longtemps, une pensée me vient. Je me demande ce qui cloche (aucun jeu de mot). La composition? Non. Ah! je sais. La distortion de perspective. Oui. En général, je vis très bien avec ça, mais pour ta magnifique photo, je pense qu'elle gagnerait à être redressée pour que les deux tours formant les bords du cadre deviennent verticales. Qu'en penses-tu?
6 Aug 2008 9:25pm
@Vincent Bertrand: Tu as raison Vincent, j'aurais pu redresser la perspective... la photo aurait probablement gagner visuellement... la prochaine fois, je tâcherais d'y penser ! :-)
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
a beautiful shot -- love the movement and 'drama' of this -- the rushing darkness!

Scary! Scary good :) It looks like a greater force is either coming from the clouds or is pulling you in... wonderful!

Karthik from Bangalore, India
Hi, I was just thinking how could you get such an effect without long exposure. Was done manipulated post capturing?
20 Aug 2008 1:29pm
@Karthik: Yes, this effect was post-processed with Photoshop. Thanks for visiting !
Kaveh from Tabriz, Iran
don't want to repeat the same words but yes absolutely Medieval and Gothic... it also resembles and looks like a scene from some fantasy movie, either batman or... something like that, isn't it? :)
26 Sep 2008 8:35am
@Kaveh: Yes, gothic atmosphere is the perfect words... thanks for stopping by...
Don Harris from Washington DC, United States
