lame, I know, but didn't take a better shot this month, due to still heavy work. Technically not the same capture. Also, redid slightly some of the PP.

For what is worth, there is no significant darkening effect. The picture is taken at dawn and the Arc is lit by strong spotlights on the ground. They do not light the bottom part of the monument, and I kept the effect as I liked it.

nice work. A little detail has been lost in the structor but who cares.

very cool, dynamic shot. My only knit to pick is that the darkening effects around the border of the image are a bit too obvious in the bottom left corner.. i just wish that was a bit more smooth of a transition, otherwise the rest is great! 8 gl

Great shot, nice angle and fantastic colour. Criticism? Could have been a bit sharper perhaps.

I like the colors, though it's not thrilling me. I think it may be from being too centered up. If it were off to the right a bit, it would cause my eye to swoop in from left to right and then up the arch.

I think the crop is a bit too close. I'd like to see some more space above. The bottom looks too dark - that caused by too much photoshop?

Great sense of scale. Lovely colors in the sky.
