Artist's Comments

It started pouring rain just after I arrived at the famous Paris Opera. I hid in the Metro station until the rain stopped, and then came out to find it looking quite beautiful, with most of the tourists washed off of it :P

Holga? Or just fisheye? I like the effect, either way, in terms of the water on the floor surface.

Again with the street photography though. It's nice to see. The only thing I can think of (and this sounds like a joke, me actually suggesting something) is that, despite not being the focus of the photo, I'd have loved to have not had the girl looking at her camera caught in the fisheye as much.

But I do like the wash.

Ach, of course. For some reason I just thought "film" and didn't look for the data.

I've been there, isn't it absolutely beautiful! A very nice shot too, I love the reflection.

Magnificent composition... Creating an emptiness under the people's feet.
This reminded me a lot the paintings in Acrylic on canvas done by my father and that you can see here in the deviant: [link]

Completely cool. The reflection is just awesome, a little detail you wouldn't have gotten if it never rained. I really dig the effect of the wideangle on this one, it gives the already famous opera house an extra bit of character.
