Default Public transportation in Paris

I recently visited Paris for the first time and found all these bikes available for rent to the residents. I thought it was a great idea and wanted to capture it. This was across the street from a very busy cafe that seemed to be a pretty popular hang out.

This was taken with a point and shoot and I don't know the specifics of the shot. Please let me know what you think.

Nice shot. Great exposure using a P&S...did you use a tripod or monopod or was this hand held? I've only been to Paris once, but I can't wait to go back.

Welcome to DPS, Chef! The exposure is spot on and I like the composition a lot.

This shot was with a small tripod. I didn't do anything to the image. This is how it came off the lens.

Using a point and shoot you did exceptionally well.
