Montmartre Moment [Friendship]
Uploaded: March 13, 2008 02:08:38
Finalist
The setting and the couple are quintessentially Parisian.
Originally entered in July, 2007, and later revised, I entered this version in March, 2008. It did not pick up the EP so I entered it in the cash contest where it got an honorable mention. Thought I'd try it in Monthly Theme -- this looks like the ultimate friendship to me :) Re-submitted 02/13/10

Thanks so much to everyone for the comments before I discovered the problem.

You did an awesome job on the pole. I believe I like this version better. It's sharper, well composed and I like the tones better on this one. Peter

Nikki -
I love the sepia tone. two versions, I noticed that the second has a light right behind the lovers' heads, whereas the first one does not. I'd prefer to see the second version without that extra street light. Just an opinion.

I'm glad it's not more rectangular; I think maybe it would look too squished if it were. I remember this image from the summer, Nikki--it's awesome, and really says "Paris" to me! Excellent job of straightening the lamppost. The sepia tones are gorgeous. #5635109
