[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Last week-end were the "days of patrimony", which consist in opening the national patrimony to everybody for free. Usually places that are forbidden to the public during the whole year, are the most visited places these days. But, this time it was the first opening of "Le Grand Palais" since 1993 when government decided to close it for renovation. Thus, to visit it you had to be very patient last week-end...it seemed the all world wanted to come in!

(For my part, I chose to come another day...that's why the picture isn't so crowded).

The Grand Palais, built in 1900, at the same time as the Eiffel Tower is widely composed of iron / steel materials. It was initially a place of art exposure, and later became the place where "cars" were exposed once a year for a couple of days festival.

I hesitated between posting it in B&W or in color...finally I chose color version because I wanted to show the renewal of that place with a spectator that seems to make a time travel in the early days of that place (the shadow man, reading a book as reading history). I wanted a contrast there. I also wanted to show the importance of materials and geometrics, representing this place, that's why I cropped the picture to make the lines more "directive / dynamics".

I also made a B&W version to make my choice. You can see it in the workshop I'll post soon.

Please comment/ critique. Don't hesitate to tell me what isn't right in it and give me advices to improve ;o)

Tout est au rendez-vous : la perspective, la profondeur de champ, le positionnment doux du premier plan. Bravo pour ce cliché.

superbe image avec de belles couleurs et un premier plan en contre jour très bien placé dans le cadre

bien vu

bonjour
je ne comprends pas pourquoi, les deux globes ne sont pas sur la photo. c'est dommage car le rendu des volumes est excellent avec cet homme au 1er plan, et je regarde à l'endroit où devaient se trouver les globes...
...et je viens de lire ta réponse, quand j'y suis passé les miroirs étaient à l'horizontal :-)
merci
Pascal

Salut Prisley,
Une photo qui nous donne une vue plus large que la photo présentée par Pascal la semaine dernière..
Des volumes splendides et cet homme au 1ier plan..
Une très belle photo, un bel instantanée.
Alex

Very interesting composition. I compared it with b&w and colour one is much better. Well done! cheers!

Ton premier plan de l'homme-qui-lit est superbe, j'aime beaucoup à la fois sa pose et sa tonalité verdâtre, couleur statue de liberté, est très réussie : il reste vert sans que la colorimétrie générale ne soit affectée, en ceci la version couleur est bien supérieure à la version NB. De la même façon la rampe d'escalier diagonale est une vraie réussite : elle donne une bonne dynamique de lecture.

Peut-être la meilleure photo de ton portfolio so far...

excellente photo, le 1er personnage donne un côté Jules Vernes à la scéne, et l'arriére le renouveau du grand palais!!
belle couleurs et belle compo!
philippe

Magnific.
Seb

Visualisation brillante de la scene. Moi, je verrais plutot Gulliver chez les Lilliput! C'est aussi un peu l'univers find de siecle de Juiles Verne. Que dire qui n'a pas encore ete dit. J'aime aussi ces tons vert qui traversent tout.
Franchement superbe!
Amicalement,
Francis

You did a nice photo of this very beautiful structure. i have been here twice and it is always a good photo opportunity because of it light and airy structure. You have done very well on this picture and your write-ups.

Alsi, thank you for your visit and comments on my photo, "Girl Behind the Grilles."

Salut Prisley
wondeful picture! i like this architecture shot and the old man standing there with the book. great! i also like the b&w workshop you made. imho, you could darken it a little because it's not bad only having the silhouette of the man and the rest of the hall wouldn't be that bright anymore.
best regards,
Martin

Hello Prisley. I just went through your portfolio and have to say that you have posted a lot of very interesting and artistic shots. I'm looking forward to see more of you.
That said, I think this particular picture is one of the best. Apart from the attractive building that we can admire in the background, the pensive pose of the man in the foreground - looking carefully into his guide - is of major importance. It is immediately clear that he is reading about this building and doing this, he is also waking up our curiosity. Good compo and very nice exposure. Well done!

This is a little masterpice, I really like it, perfect composed, BRAVO!!!
ciao, Fabio.

Hi Prisley,
This is a superb composition with good image quality. I like it a lot! I still like the original better than the WS photos. I'm afraid I have no suggestion to possibly improve this fine capture.
Cheers,
Skye

Firstly let me congratulate you on a wonderful image and title - it could almost be an advertising shot - the fact that it's a candid image in this setting makes it quite special in my eyes - a superb semi-silhouette against this fantastic backdrop - it is a really nice colour image but it also works so well in B&W as well - I would be hard pressed to know which one to post - I think it's a horese for course image in that sense - it would work well in some contexts in colour - in another context it works well de-saturated. The tonal range in both is so nice - the green caste in this colourt image also works so well.

I am so glad to discover this picture.

best wishes Kev

Ahh le Grand-Palais, tres bien composition, j´adore l´architecture de ce Palais, merci
Michael

Great photo, as others have already said!
I prefer the colour version, if only for the lovely blue sky and green lattice roof. I think there's more of a sense of light and space than the B&W version.
It's very well composed and framed as well.
You must be very happy with this one.
Cheers
Brian

One of the images that I find myself coming back over and over... until today I didn' realized that I have never say anything. I like the way you have balanced the dark and lighted areas withour loosing details or overexposing. Great job.

Regards,
Enrique

Salut Prisley, chouette contre-jour et bien composé avec cette barrière qui découpe le bas droit de l'image. Cetet source de lumière dans l'arrière plan est bien sympa avec cette structure vertem ce ciel bleu et ces 2 grues jaunes, joli. Peut-être le personnage en avant plan plus foncé aurait encore donnée plus d'impact...
A+

géniale !

Bonjour Prisley,
Superbe photo, lumière merveilleuse mais surtout, cet homme au premier plan droit comme une statue, c'est tout à fait extraordinaire.
Bravo pour cette idée et la réalisation.
Diane
