The Paris Blues

The Paris Blues was captured whilst on a weekend away for my best mates 21st birthday. I love Paris, it’s an amazing city!

I first added a black and white effect, then warmed the image, then cooled it with another function. There is slight adjustment of highlights, contrast, sharpness and light fill.

    I live at 2-hours distance from Paris with TGV and I love it. I visit as often as possible. Your picture is great! I would have waited to avoid any person in the picture, but I now agree that the person in your picture makes it more lively.

    thanks very much bubblehex08!!!

    Brings back memories of my first visit to Paris. January, 1972. Alone, in Paris, 3 days. (I went because it was Summer in Sydney and therefore, summer holidays for schools.)
    So different from when I visitem my daughter, who was living there for a year or so, in 2005! No blues then!
