Aperture: f5
ISO: 800

 Okay, the challenge details call for the "best photo I've taken with a digital camera" and this isn't it. But this isn't the city that dominates my home page at this point and that is why I am submitting it. I hope with a little luck this hastily shot vacation photo from a fun week spent in Paris will score high enough to knock one of the shots off my home page and give it a little more diversity. We'll see if it can hang in there for that- I'm not expecting much. :-)
