Very elegant.

Great lines, architectural detail.

I would be sorely tempted to do a black and white conversion.  I think that would highlight the lines, and downplay the color in the monitors at the bottom of the screen. I know that helps tell the story of the location, but I would still try it!

Well seen.

+1 ; while scrolling down, I thought it was B&W and then... ouch - the monitors disturbed me. So yes, give it a try, it can also bbe an extreme one.

Thank you for the nice comments.

Would a b&w like this do? (Fomapan 200 simulation with DXO Film Pack)

This works better for me, downplays the monitors and highlights the structure.  I dabbled with a version cropped up just a sliver from the bottom to cut off the monitors, while leaving the sweeping lines on the sides, but seemed a bit tight below then.

Cheers

B&W rocks :) I like the moderate, but significant contrast enhancement. The background constructions and trees are still preserved, but interfere less with the structures.

Wonderful architecture , another vote for the b&w version

this is a beautiful building, well captured
understanding the votes for the BW version, I must admit, I prefer the colour one,
as I have been so often in Lyon, that its colour is fixed in my mind, but that is personal
I am happy that the French Style is still existing

I also prefer the color version.

I have the same experience. Unique with the colour-setting.

Great shot.

Well spotted and composed! I like the 'colors' of the rooftop in the color version but the screen colours are distracting as the screen are not your main subject. Focus is drawn to these screen by lines and colors.
Nevertheless, a wonderful composition!

Thank you all for your constructive comments. Much appreciated.

Below is a third version, in color, but with blue and green desaturated.

Another vote for the color shot, but then I liked your Lyon by Night shot too.  ;)

If it matters, I prefer the 3rd version to the B&W, which I find too dark.
