How many times has the Eiffel Tower been photographed? There are millions of straight-on images of this structure, complete with smiling faces of tourists at the base. In social media, companies seem content with playing it safe and taking the traditional shots; but it’s the risky angles that create the most buzz.

Fabulous picture and yes taking risks is part of the fun of being a photographer. Did you know by the way you have to have permission from the authorities to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower at night? Apparently it's a copyrighted image
