1 and 2 look great!!!

The color on the others wouldn't print well. But again, 1 and 2 look very natural! Have fun printing!

I like #1 and 10, Very nice/really give the feel of Paris.

I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of applying perspective adjustment to one of your shots. In case you don't normally use perspective adjustments it took no time to do. I used photoshop (CS2) and edit/transform/perspective+skew.

14. Nothing says "Paris" like a gargoyle and the Eiffel tower.

Thanks for the suggestions! Will take some time to work out the final PP (was just copy/paste settings in LR to get some quick results

First of all, can I just say...ah, Paris...sigh...

Some great shots here. Without knowing where you're going to hang these and what would look good on those walls.

I love #1. Alternatively the B&W #10 is fantastic. I don't think I would print both of them unless they were going to different places.

I actually don't think I would print #2 because of the shutter speed and the guy in the middle. But, I love #3.

#8 is fantastic. I would chose it over the gargoyle shots personally. They're great too, but those gargoyles have been photographed so many times that ... you know.

If the interior cathedral shots, I personally like #7 the best, unless you have a connection to one of the other places that means something to you.

They're all great. I hope you enjoyed your visit.

#1 and #10 are my favorites. I'd prefer #10 in color and that would be my favorite; but that's just my personal preference. Depends on where you are going to hang them, and your preference re B&W/Color.

The thing is the day I was there was a bad day...overcast, hazy and smoggy. I did the best I could and now I have to resort to either BW or post color enhancement.

I am still trying to figuer out the color pallet for the photos - not sure the current color scheme works now that I had a few days to look at it.

Here is one with a more natural color pallet - I am thinking about going with this look instead... thoughts?

Awesome pictures of Paris. You must have booked the right hotel, because the view is magnificent. I particularly like Pictures #3, #5, #6, #8, #11, #12, #16 !
