This is a long lens shot, taken from the Trocadero and looking through the base of the tower towards the Ecole Militaire in the background.
The colours in the original image were somewhat muddy, due to the late hour and some haze that was picking up the streetlights and giving an unattactive colour cast to the scene.
Therefore I converted to black and white using Photoshop's channel mixer to enhance the contrast in the scene, followed by a blue tone to add a little mystery and a sense of night.
