EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in Paris, as the iconic "Arc de Triomphe" is graced by the majestic flight of Patrouille de France planes. Taken on May 6,2005, this image holds even greater significance as it showcases French director Luc Besson's efforts to support Paris' bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. The film being created by Besson will be presented to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) during their vote in Singapore on July 6th. Its purpose is to effectively present and showcase Paris' candidacy for hosting this prestigious global event. The photograph, taken by Francois Guillot from Agence France-Presse (AFP), perfectly encapsulates the grandeur and elegance of both Paris and its bid for the Olympics. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, these aerobatic planes soar gracefully above one of France's most renowned landmarks, leaving trails of smoke behind them. The vibrant colors emitted from their fumigene add an artistic touch to this already breathtaking scene. With its vertical composition emphasizing height and depth, this image truly transports viewers into the heart of Parisian pride and ambition. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also its determination to bring international sporting excellence to its capital city
