This is a picture I took on a European tour. River Seine in Paris, france around sunset. We were on a boat tour at the time. I'm pretty sure the building off in the distance is Notre Dame.

Oh god that is gorgeous!
So amazing. But I don't like the fact that I see people in the photograph; not that you're ugly or anything  , but it kinda detracts form the surreal-ness of it.
Gorgeous picture, nonetheless.
I love the clouds, and the fact that the sunset adds color to the bleakness of the clouds.
This is getting starred!!!

Hi IG--
This scene is absolutely gorgeous. The water against the sky is nearly a perfect contrast--couldn't do better if it was painted!
The only thing I have against it, as other have said, it the people in the bottom. That absolutely 100% takes away from the photograph and it couldn't be considered wonderful with people in it. The cropped version posted by Kay above would be...okay. But, at the same time that gets rid of most of the river which completely destroys the balance of the photograph. The buildings should be directly in the middle or just a bit above the midline horizontally for the river/sky balance.
Nice eye!

Wow this is beautiful. The way the sky blends together to form a mystical blanket over an already majestic and amazingly structured building is just breath-taking. My NaNo takes place in Paris, mostly. This really inspired me. Thanks for taking this pic.

You know I dont mind the people at the bottom of the picture, it adds something somehow. I lvoe the sky in this picture, it looks so dooming and opposing, yet the sun reflecting underneath them is beautiful.
This is a wonderful picture I really like it. When did you visit there?

| I like the picture but it really should have some and cropping of the people. With photoshop you can easily darken the sky, and add blue to the ocean. Contrasting the beautifully lit sun

ow its beautiful,
but i would also like to say I love the fact that it looks like a few friends are relaxing the sunset and looking at the beautiful view.
I wish i could do that with my friends. The picture is that beautiful you could write a story on it.
