Photo take on seine river in paris

thanks for your comment

The long exposure on water is a nice technique for giving a serene and etherial feel to an image and you have done well to begin to establish this. If you are going to include objects in your image make them work to bring the photograph to a conclusion, not have the viewer puzzle over what you are trying to achieve. It took some time for me to figure out what the dark object was across the top of the picture. I believe it is a bridge but its detail is lost. Keep in mind, we haven't all had the pleasure of being there.
Curved lines are great for drawing the eye through a scene but the passage is disrupted if the line is broken and so is the viewers interest. Taking a different perspective by shifting your feet might have resolved this. In doing so, the main elements in the image of the road, bridge, water and boats may have come together to form a significant relationship: the one you saw at the time of seeing this place.
There's a nice visual contrast of 'Old World and New' that could have been used to add interest as well.
You amy just have to go back to Paris and take some more shots. Bugger!

It made me stop and take a second look. I like the contrast between the hard lines of the roadway against the soft, mysterious water. If a dozen of us were standing in the same spot, you would get a dozen different interpretations of the same scene and each may be good in their own way. But, this was your vision and your artistic rendering of that scene. I like it!

Since you did not say what you were trying to convey in this shot, I'll have to guess. It seems to me you were going for more of the abstract look with the contrast of the dark road against the smooth, lighter water. I agree with the other comments about having to take a second look to identify the objects at the top of the frame. If you were going for the abstract look, I would suggest cloning out some identifiable objects like the signs on the side of the road.

In the future, please post your exif data with the shot. Also, the moderators prefer that you ask specific questions about your image, like the composition.
