Some art museum in Paris, in the evening. It was near my hotel.
:-)
Opened in Lightroom, since I remembered to load the free trial of version 2.5; used a general preset, rotated slightly and cropped slightly, then "rendered in Lightroom" for further processing in CS3 - had to do that because CS3 can't open the file otherwise. In CS3, added a touch of curves and resized/sharpened. Oh how I wish we'd had the 800 pixels for this one!

This did better than expected! Merci! :-)

The perspective is amazing! The modern architecture is dwarfing the dignified Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.
I like that there is a pedestrian in the composition!
