Thanks, guys.
I've been re-inspired by Toronto, lately. I took the afternoon off last Friday and went shooting. Just found this angle by accident.
You also seem to have gotten the perfect lighting for that photo. I have the exact same angle as yours in one of my pictures, but it's not nearly as spectacular because it lacks the light coming from behind the CN tower. Awesome photo!
We're on the same boat! I've just started taking portraits, after years of taking macros. You're doing a much better job than I am, though.

This is possibly the best HDR shot I've seen from you. I love the way the "arm" of the traffic light meets with and echoes the upraised arm of the man on the billboard, which in turn echoes the verticality of just about everything in the image, right down to the flaming torch on the "Argent" sign. The photo seems to assert a triumph of urbanity, which appears (literally in this image) to have effaced humanity. The image is almost apocalyptic in that regard. The complimentary color scheme works really well to heighten the sense of conflict. Well done.
juanster photo has a very very good lighting, it makes the photo look really good cause if there is not enough lighting, that photo will just look like a normal photo. Good job
yes it really does, it looks amazing.. wait I am a bit confused tho, are you telling me why that photo looks so good or are you complimenting me on it? because I did not take that shot, that's Edge100's shot
i wish i was getting shots like that..

Just me thinking out loud...
I agree. Although some of us have a hard time finding the time to go out and take photo's at the best time of the day. (Kids needing attention, work etc). But I appreciate it that people like you post here, I check this thread regularly and love the beaty and quality of the photo's posted here.
Oh, and you know what people think when they see an old guy talking to himself (sorry, thinking out loud).
This is what I was trying to say too. I appreciate it's hard for people to find the time to devote to photography... which is why it might be better to 'commit' to one image a week, instead of just filling up the hard drive with pix they know they could do better, given the chance....

It happens already. People see me with my tripod, setting up a shot, as they're starting a walk. Two hours later, they pass me again, and I'm still waiting for the light to get 'interesting'...
Thanks Face... your shot is noteworthy as well, and your patience to take the shot at the right time was well worth it .
I enjoyed your interpetation of the people at the right trying to "catch" the rainbow (they were actually fishing).
@ Steamie and Doylem : beautiful posts lately. You both are an inspiration. I wish I had the time and patience Doylem has to wait for the 'light', and the forethought to bring the right equipment.
I was in Phoenix for my nephew's birthday, and decided to drive back home through Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon, since I had my camera with me (but forgot the tripod).
Having been a silent observer for quite a while in these forums, I have to say, this place keeps getting better.
@Doylem, I really liked the cityscape picture you took last month. Seeing your rush hour pic, I can't help but wonder if you're getting closer to urban environments. Are you still able to wait for the lighting to get "interesting" in those settings?
@Edge100, your shot of the CN tower really pushes me to get out with my camera more often. Being an enthusiastic beginner, I love seeing what everyone is doing here.
@Valdore, I look forward to seeing the results of your helicopter flight.
@Longkc, I'd be interested in knowing more on the settings you used for the picture of the cheetah.
