Toronto Skyline

Toronto Skyline with the local harbour and piers in the foreground. Shot with Canon S3 IS and converted to B&W Hope you like it?

Sorry, but this shot doesn't really do much for me with it's OOF BG and a busy FG.
Just to let you know, Toronto is on a lake not a harbour

Hey Frank,

Thanks for your comments and feedback! I do appreciate it

BTW...Please read my comments again above...I said this picture contained the "local harbour and piers in the foreground"

I live near Toronto..I know very well what it sits on and which lake it borders But thanks again for trying to help!

you're both wrong, it sits by a HARBOR. U crazy guys throwing in the random 'u'

Really though, I wonder how it would've come out with the bg as the focal point?? Just a thought.

Well..."U" know us Canadians and our "U"'s

Hi
Is the shot taken from Toronto Island.
I remember cycling around the island on the boardwalk many years ago.
When I was last in Toronto the lake front area was being expanded. Barges were being sunk and covered with landfill.
Your sky line looks quite different from my last visit. I lived on Lakeshore Blvd West.
Thanks for the memory provoking shot.

I quite like this it is different from the norm. I would also like to see the colour shot of this.

I really like it. The city lost in a foggy haze provides a great backdrop to the rocks and harbour in the foreground. Black and white really suits it, and give an old movie feel.

Had the skyline been clearer I do not think it would have worked as well as it would have over powered the foreground and left me unsure over what I should be focussed on.

Michael.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the comment. This shot was taken from Mississauga at Port Credit Village looking North East towards Toronto.


All,

Thanks for your comments and feedback. Very much appreciated

As a displaced Brit, I'm on your side with the "U"'s Although here it is confusing as some people Use the U and some don't, just like the US $ is interchangeable with the B$, on par!

As for the shot, I kind of like the hazy looking background, but on the whole I think it needs a bit more contrast, and perhaps would be better if there were diagonals rather than horizontals all through it. Maybe try it again from a different angle?

Nice shot but I cant find something to focus upon ...The BGs out of focus and nothing special in the FG...As Elisabeth has said a different angle might make it something special...
