This is a very picturesque park in a somewhat wealthy section of Paris.

Hello Bob..wow, so this is how the rich Parisian lives. Love your framing on this pic, with those leaves on the foreground. Creates the depth that brings the grandeur of this upscale park...excellent capture!

@Kheoh Yee Wei: Kheoh - thanks for you comments. I realized that the framing is somewhat larger than typical. In fact, I toyed with it while on site but the orientation and what was hidden behind the foreground trees took away from the shot. Thanks for your constructive comments!

You see some great places in your wanderings Bob! Like this. Good shot. Great framing and colours. The branches on the left were a good idea I reckon as the shade adds to the mood, but I might've been tempted to include a fraction less of them and focus a little more on the rest. Still a fine job though matey!

@Stu: Thanks for the honest feedback Stu. The framing is somewhat heavy but it was the best of positions considering all that was around this city park.

The carved stone at the edge of the water is waiting for something. This scene reminds me of how some places in New Orleans used to look.
