Default Eiffel Tower in Vegas

Please critique my shot. I'm still new to photography but this has been one of my best shots so far, but there's obviously room to improve. What do you think?

Was you standing or sitting when you took the shot

Nice color and perspective. It looks a little out of focus to me, but take that with a grain of salt because everything looks that way to me today !

Just was wondering what angle you took it at because when i take a picture of something high I often go down on my haunches and look up, I loved the angle you took it at so was curious.

Sergio,

Everything in composition, angle, color make this one-of-a-kind. And that's not easy to do, given how many photos pass through here a day. Not having to fly to France helps, but still . . .

Sergio,

I am loving the color contrast between the blue of the sky and the lights. At what hour of the day did you take the photo? Thanks for posting!

Yeah I think the time of day really made this picture what it is. Thanks. And sorry I don't remember the time, but it was around sunset.
