I like the composition; not a typical photo of Eiffel Tower.

GREAT point of view/composition...and the bird adds some nice dynamism to it.

Most excellent!
The legs of the Eiffel tower itself kind of looks like a prey bird, hoovering to find food on the ground.

I agree with the comments above. It's an eye catching composition and the bird contrasts some softness against the rigidity of the structure.

Original composition of the Eiffel tower with a white bird; very peaceful.

Wonderful graphic shapes - a mixture of menace and beauty.

Thank you everyone for your observations and comments on this shot. One of the things I love about shooting film is that this was the last shot on the roll, by the time I developed it I forgot this shot and then came the surprise I got when looking at it through the loupe on the light table. Next came the anticipation of getting into the darkroom with it and the fulfillment of holding the dried print in my hands.
