Two for the price of one! The subtle shadows of what I assume is the pyramid (which means this is a late afternoon photo, since the pyramid is west of the museum) have a completely different character than the shadows and lines of the museum interior, allowing each to stand out from the other. I'm usually a judge and, after seeing the entries so far, I feel this one should place fairly high. Beautiful in black & white, so much more expressive than if it was in color. Great job and good luck with it.

Thank you for this picture. I got to visit the Louvre, too short a visit, many years ago, and have always wished my group hadn't been whisked away for more "sight seeing" before I had got more than a distant view of the Mona Lisa or anything else. The black and white format here works wonderfully well with the lights and shadows. Lovely shot!
Fantastic B/W for the contest - good luck. Really like all the different shadows falling against the walls coming from the glass pyramid dome from above. Brings back wonderful memories of the time I spent there taking in such spectacular art.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
