Broken Hearted

I took this one the other day as I was walking down towards the river - the wreckage of the balloons in the tree caught my eye. I'm on a quest for unusual images of the Grand Old Lady. This one just tickled my fancy!

perfectly!

[Sally Ings]

Beautifully captured. Did you use selective colour here?

[Issi Bannerman]

@salza I did Sally, but I almost didn't need to. The sky was grey, the trees and the tower a greyish brown! No other real colour around!

[Sally Ings]

@jamibann that's why I asked. The colour does pop and draw your attention

[Peter Day]

most unusual

[Kitty Hawke]

Excellent. The red does grab your attention.....

[Wylie]

oh dear, they look a little bit like there's been a nasty something happening in Paris again.

[Hazel]

I think it's a somewhat majestic shot.

[Nova]

I like it too Issi, and look forward to more unique images. :)

[Gayle]

Oh, this is wonderful! Well spotted and captured, Issi! :-)

[Taffy]

Such a terrific series of the Lady! The balloons stand in such stark contrast to the strong architectural lines. SC worked perfectly.

[Taffy]

PS -- or perhaps not SC and just the gray day?

[Bep]

Well spotted!

[Martina]

This is great. I am glad you saw those "broken hearts"

[Margaret Brown]

Love the colour pop a fav for me!

[Sarah Bremner]

Superb. Pity the balloons are not very environmentally friendly - these days it's quite an issue.

[KWind]

Such a striking image! I wish I could wander the streets of Paris!

[Mickey Anderson]

Oh, its beautiful!! Very nice.

[Issi Bannerman]

@taffy No, I did use SC, but hardly needed to! It was all pretty grey already except for the balloons!

[Issi Bannerman]

@sarah19 Something I hadn't thought about - but yes, I guess these don't disappear very quickly.

[SquamLoon]

You can Eiffel every day!

[Kathy]

Super. I like the effect of SC. Great that it's the way it really was.
