Next stop, The Louvre


Well, if we're wandering around Paris, then we have to stop at the Louvre. This museum is best sampled like a fine wine....in little sips. One could spend weeks in here and barely scratch the surface. I like to focus on an area and study a few pieces. That's the way I do it now that is. My first trip here however, many years ago that is, was quite the opposite. I flew thru this place like a hyper squirrel. I don't think I comprehended a single thing! The exterior of this place is absolutely magical at night! I created this image from 1 raw file. I used HDR tonemapping in Photomatix with contrast enhancements, sharpening, and misc. adjustments in Photoshop CS3. I tried for a dark almost sinister look. Enjoy.
