Today’s photo of the Louvre was taken by David Elwood and was submitted in the Amateur Traveler March Photo contest.

David says:

The picture was taken on a trip to Paris/London I took with my wife. You can see it was taken on Valentine’s Day, and that is our 17th wedding anniversary. I had arranged a private tour of the Louvre with one of the guide groups for my wife and I. We arrived early, around 9am, and I started taking pictures of the outside of the Louvre. I had recently been reading some photo sites suggesting using reflections and/or changing white balance on the camera. I am still somewhat unfamiliar with the new camera I received for Christmas so I set the white balance to fluorescent and started snapping. It came out a bit strange colored but the composition was not too bad; a mix of angles and reflections. The new pyramid structure can be seen contrasting with the older Louvre museum building, and both stand in the reflection.
