In this picture, you see a street scene of Montmartre, with the main subject being a bakery/patisserie in a soft green pastel shade.
I took this photo, while walking through the famous Montmartre district, located in France's capital, Paris. After looking at and photographing the famous landmarks, I went for a walk through the streets. While doing so, I came across this photogenic shop, with its mint green colour and striped awning.
The patisserie has a nice terrace with different kinds of chairs a tables and several black signboards with white lettering. A red scooter in the foreground provides a nice colour contrast and really stands out.
The early morning light adds atmosphere to the picture and the shadows, create a nice play of lines. The surrounding buildings have the typical architecture for this city. With many ornaments and the famous French balconies.
I also have a landscape version, of this image available
