Description Taken at the Musée d'Orsay while on my trip to Europe last year. I originally edited this photo this way last May but was never sure about posting it. I showed it to `zerocomplex and he gave me a few suggestions and encouraged me to post it.

I loved d'Orsay when I visited there. We didn't have much time though so I need to get there again someday. Had time only to briefly see the impressionist's section.

I really like this piece. Maybe because I so much love Paris but also because I like the feeling here. The blueish colours and the romantic. It's actually really conceptual. These two people going through time together. A picture inside your mind, having someone beside you through all times. I also like the composition, the illuminated areas and the certain silence that can be sensed. Beauty.

Absolutely gorgeous mood photo. Kudos on the timing with few people as well, i know that can be harder to acompolish in museums. glad you could. The reflection under the figures i think is a nice compositional add in as well. Very well placed.

Ok sorry let me see if I can be more articulate this time

This is a gorgeous piece...has such a romantic feel with the two silhouttes in it. I like how dark it is and how it draws your eye in. Great depth as well. Again though just wow!!!

This is amazing. How did you manage to get a shot like that with almost no people in it? Every other picture I saw you posting in the chatrooms had a bunch of people in them.

What country is the Musée d'Orsay in? I would very much like the visit a place like that.

This was a more secluded area of the museum not a lot of people. This museum is in Paris.
It was originally a train station and then later converted into a museum.

And thank goodness you listened to Keith and published this one; it's gorgeous. Instant from me.

The story this one tells is amazing. I love the extremely strong contrast to it, and how it all zooms immediately to the two figures, and then allows the viewer's eye to unwind from them and discover the rest.

This embodies, for me, the weight and impersonal nature of Time, and how it affects us mere mortals. It's a strong piece. I like it VERY much.

Very nice. All of that darness is appropriate in thae way we usually think about time (future is hidden and past is in the shadows).
