Beneath the Eiffel Tower.
Paris, France.
The focus is the people, so I don't want to go architecture, but it's both color and of a large group, so I don't want to go street. Oh well, street it is unless I can find a better place to categorize it.
The night experience was fantastic, but the tower at noon... well, take a look. I know I'm an American visiting Paris, but tourist though I may be I still resent being put in the same category as this mob.

Edit: HDR editing helped assist in both contrast adaptation, range, and the partial coloration.

While HDR is sometimes leading to images where the subject is lost, does not stand out, because everything in the image is eye-catching, I find that here is works well, making the crowd even bigger, by highlighting each individual. And your composition is really good, including clearly the tower but also showing its enormous size by showing just a little but still covering three sides of the image.

Thanks, I'm glad you feel that way. I'll admit, I may have pushed the HDR envelope on occasion (My 'Temple of Gold' shot from Kyoto comes to mind) but I do try to either be subtle/tasteful or otherwise use it in such a way that it is genuinely artistic, rather than covering for a lack in some other area.

great shot. thinking about how vast the tower must be is amazing. i know what you mean with the whole tourist shot. i wouldn't want to be shunted into that category either hahaha.

Resentful though you may be, you still asked a French waiter if you could box up your food. :D

In relevant news, good photo.
