Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Paris France is filled with many iconic buildings that have stood for hundreds of years. The immense Notre Dame Cathedral is quite famous for many reasons, but is also well known for it's architectural details. The majority of these details are purely for visual and ornamental reasons, but then other quite obvious details are not. From many angles you can see grotesque figures looking down at you, and they do appear quite alarming. However that was their intended purpose, to scare away evil spirits. But then many of them also were designed to act as downspouts, to direct rain water away by spilling water directly out of their mouths to the ground below. Just look upwards at the older buildings in this city and you will surely see the ... Gargoyles Of Paris.
I created this black and white image from my original color photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
