Thanks for the explanation. It is unfortunate that you could not find a location without the foreground objects. But the reflection is still very well done.
Well, the problem with the reflection is that there is a lot of wind these days in Paris, so It's impossible to get a clear shot of the reflection. About the dark subjects in the foreground I'll try to do my best clining them out, but it will be hard for me as I'm even worst in photoediting than in photography.
The sollution to change the view point isn't possible because there is no place around the fountain from where you can have both the tower and the reflection in the frame even at 18mm.
Not quite "Lord of the Rings," but you caught the reflection very nicely. I do wish that we could see a clear view of the reflection, without the dark foreground objects. Overall, nicely done.
