Interestingly, they're both work by Gustav Eiffel.
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi designed the Statue of Liberty, but it was
Eiffel who did the engineering work that made the construction possible.

Thanks, Ken.
You will note that this is an iPhone image, not one taken with a DSLR.
Also, it was a "Grab" shot, as our river cruise boat was turning around. I
took it because I like the juxtaposition of the two, each strongly
associated with one particular locale thousands of miles apart. The statue
of liberty apparently is a small version made by the sculptor in the
process of preparing for the bigger version, and the city of Paris decided
to install it on the Seine so folks would see it. Previously, it was
hidden away in the Luxembourg Gardens where it was hardly notice.
I will play with the image a bit when I get home, and your advice will be
helpful in trying to make it stronger. but it is what it is.

Ah, so they finally took the Statue back ! <;+)
Great subjects but moving your point of view slightly to the right to omit
the building on the right and shooting in the portrait orientation would
improve the shot - the space to the left of the tower doesn't add anything.
YMMV
