An expanded view of my War is business photo, showing the entire side of the Palais de Chaillot (also called Trocadéro). Like the other photo, I waited forever for the crowds to leave the scene (the tour buses arrive on the right and the Eiffel Tower is on the left ... so the stream of tourists is pretty constant). I finally accepted these two to be in the picture. (In the full resolution original, you can see that the lady in red is looking directly at the camera ... heh)
See also my Strengthen Yourself photo for a view around the corner to the left.

How majestic this picture, seems powerful with the angle leading you up the shiny tiles to the strength of the building's architecture. The blue sky enhances this perspective. Nicely done! Your patience pays off with only a few people adding life to the exhibit images just barely seen.

Compelling view. Colors worked out well also. I think the people are good, because they give the building a scale.

Aaron - great shot, this one looks like an advertisement to me - the woman and her scale against the statues is perfect. I love how you got the gorund squares - excellent job.
