My dear Julie, I thank you so much for your appreciation and kind remarks. I just made a posting to Ania about some improvement I noticed later today. But about you, I have to say I cannot improve your architectural view anymore as well as only expressing my admiration for your capturing of better lines, scale effects and reflections the principal architects even never noticed, hugs and kisses from your beloved Paris, Paul

Oh dear Michele, I adore you so much as I'm sometimes wise, sometimes stupid as well but, not on average :-) I'm happy we became such tender friends. I just made a posting to Ania about some improvement I noticed later today. Hugs and kiss from France, Paul

Dear Ania, later today I looked at my pic again and I felt unhappy with another detail nobody said to me. (I think that some sharp but polite eyes have probably noticed) Although you did not say either you gave me a valuable hint how I could still improve its display. It is my self criticism and eager to teach and learn telling afterward. I do not like to hide these things. Both left and right sides need a very little cropping for a perfect balance. A remaining disturbing dark triangle at left and a very little of the gate at right should have been removed. Next time I do better. Hugs, kiss and good night Ania.

Thank you very much dear Ania for your appreciation and constructive remark. I am explaining what was my reason not to crop too much at the right hand side. Honestly I considered this in post processing, just what you noticed. What I finally did was some tilting and related cropping, giving the ship some more attention but I decided also to show somewhat of "real world context" by the blue texture gates. If cropped away I wouldn't have been happy with the building facade and reflections only. I show you my starting point capture in the attachment.
I also appreciate so much your comment as it tells me about perception and creative decisions so I'm learning much from this. Thanks once more. Je t'embrasse , Paul

Thank you dear Teresa, I feel honored to mirror myself to you. You are the absolute master in mirror reflections I saw that today. I'm admiring your great power of observation and capturing the sky with remaining feet on the ground. Thank you so much for sharing. Big hugs and kisses, Paul
