This bridge is located just behind Notre Dame and is my favorite bridge in all of Paris to sit upon and read in the setting sun.

Beautiful winter colours. The clouds look like they have beenpaitned overtop of the picture. Really cool effect :)

The colors are so similar to the tone of yesterday's photo. Whats the trick?

Colors do look great . The clouds add a nice texture. Did you apply any effect in PS to soften? The buildings almost have a fine fuzzy layer around them (not a bad thing - I like the effect which is why I ask...)

Jason, Shuva ... what I did to this image was to increase the contrast a little bit and add a Sunset layer effect (Virtual Photographer plugin) at 30% opacity which added some red to the color.
Jason, I don't think it added any kind of effect to soften the image but I can double check (or Jason you can try the Sunset effect at home). I do, however, know how to achieve a soft focus effect if you're looking for that.
Shuva, what I did to yesterday's photo was to remove the heavy red overtone ... pretty much the opposite to what I did to today's image. So if they look the same it's probably just coincidence ... or maybe my mind really likes this color tone? ;) Both images did come out of my new 70-200mm lens which does a great job capturing true color.

This picture is great, i like the idea of making the left side very busy (buildings, takes up the entire screen) and then having a trail off effect as you move to the left, cool effect.

I meant move to the right (for the last part of my previous)!!!!!

The soft effect might be from the sunset filter - that plugin seems to do kind of halo blur that doesn't take away from sharpness but gives it a kind of dreamy look...
