Edited in Picasa - original photo was of a sign at the Louvre. Cropped, changed to sepia tones, lines softened, shaddows deepened and museum matted using tones from the pic to match the colour. The original can be seen in the forum thread. Thanks for looking!
lol - I thought you had snapped the real thing - when we were in Paris a female guard picked up a cameraman by the scruff of the neck and physically thru him out - I was having visions of you on the ground outside the Louvre for a minute there
Lol! No way - photos are totally allowed - if you can get close enough that is! It was crazy - the weather has been terrible and the galleries have been even busier than they were last time I was here!
