#3 is of the statue in front of our town hall. I usually never go for something over the top, but tried some options in the newest update of Picasa 3, not sure about this one, might replace it. Taken with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72, 3.2mp

Wow! You guys are really going overboard in this contest!

I found this really difficult. I don't go "Wow" easily and especially not about anything I did.

Anyway, I thought let me just pick 3 pictures I really like.
You might remember from the previous contest, I went to Paris for work but I sneaked out an evening to take a little stroll. These are all from that time.

Paris, Arc de la Défense

Photo taken with Panasonic DMC-FX500, f/5,6 @ 17,6 mm, 1/8, ISO 400, No Flash

Paris, La Défense

Photo taken with Panasonic DMC-FX500, f/2,8 @ 4,4 mm, 1/8, ISO 400, No Flash

Paris, le Tour Eiffel

Photo taken with Panasonic DMC-FX500, f/5,7 @ 20,5 mm, 1/8, ISO 400, No Flash

Altopiet, another fine entry but... are you toying with the devil in me???

Bart, great entries! I especially like #2

G.T · 04-05-2012, 12:52 PM

Nice views of the Grande Arche, Bart !

Immunogirl · 04-05-2012, 07:22 PM

My new coffee mug, panasonic zs7:

Immunogirl,
The humour in your "beach scene" just blew me away. That bald guy in the fur coat on such a hot day? - Oh! Wow! And your "new coffee mug" has an amazing likeness of me before my first caffeine fix of the morning.

Christo,
Very nice image of the statue but how did you manage to capture it with no pigeons?

Bart,
Three great photographs of Paris night scenes. I agree with Ivoire, the second one is my personal pick of the three.

Great entries so far from everyone.

Bart · 04-06-2012, 03:16 AM

Thanks ivoire, G.T and Anton!

That's for coffee with a bite, Catriona.
Great shot.

immunogirl.... great pic that gives new meaning to the word MUG! i do believe 'petite' has left the building!

Immunogirl · 04-06-2012, 07:58 PM

I glare at people during morning meetings with my mug.

After seeing that monster in the chair, I had dreams of dragons and swords and killing....

@Bart, #2 is a really Oh! Wow! shot, I like b+w, and the reflections are great!

Oh! Wow! If you look anything like that mug, I'm sure you must be the boss!
