I'm so glad I was in Paris during this challenge. I immediately thought of this shot, which reliably presents itself any time one visits the biggest anti-climax in art history. It was hard to select from many shots, some of which had a larger crowd visible. But I think this was the strongest, since it has some added play with the onscreen image.

Wonderful use of the point-and-shooter's screen here. Excellent photo, it transports us to 'then & there' which is really two very different times - a chaotic, irreverent modern moment centered around an iconic, very old moment.
