Gorgeous. I love the green shutters against the brick.
Posted by Gloria at January 31, 2005 01:51 AMheh, I thought you took two photos and I said to myself, it's incredible how the lines are aligned.
And then, you said you cropped it.=)

Posted by sherry at January 31, 2005 07:17 AMI would rather have the top in focus than the bottom
Posted by Emily at January 31, 2005 07:30 AMI like the "breaking apart" of this image... it is a nice comment on and augmentation of the building's sections.
is this the "home depot" ice rink of an earlier post?
Posted by chuck at January 31, 2005 08:05 AMThis one feels like you oversaturated it, though that's a matter of taste.
I often have problems with red brick, and maybe I'm seeing in this what I've often discarded. There's a fire escape near here that's got kind of a garnet color to it, and it's up against a red brick wall, and I haven't found the right time of day yet to turn it into a shot.
Perhaps this shot suffers from the same brilliant sunlight?
Posted by Frank at January 31, 2005 08:14 AMIsnt that from the Home Depot ice rink that you had a pic of earlier in the weeks?
Posted by Raffi at January 31, 2005 09:49 AM2 for 1....great!
Posted by ciro at January 31, 2005 10:45 AMA good example of why you shouldn't use perspective correction in Photoshop to try and get rid of converging lines.
Posted by Andrew at January 31, 2005 11:41 AMIt is common to slice large images into smaller ones and seamlessly pack them together on the Web. There is no need to have a separation between the sections.
Posted by Kevin at January 31, 2005 11:47 AMwell, the upper photo is blurred (1) you're right, there are a lot of details, maybe technically the lower one is a good photo, but I really don't like the subject.
Posted by Prota at January 31, 2005 03:53 PMUnrelated to the photo, I just wanted to give Sam a location tip. On the Beaches, there are icebergs! Lots of photo opportunities, especially in the park to the far west of Kew Beach. This weekend ice looked awesome.

Posted by Abid at January 31, 2005 06:11 PMWONDERFUL
Posted by willy at January 31, 2005 06:50 PMThere's something about this photo (or, photos) that makes me a little uncomfortable...perhaps the brick in the brilliant sunlight? But that's what makes me find the photo unique as well. Didn't like having to scroll to see the ice skaters, but no way around that. :)

Posted by . at January 31, 2005 11:04 PMawesome presentation.
Posted by tanner at February 2, 2005 08:24 PMI love, love, love the way you have presented this. Very nice. Great colors. Love the geometry. Love the human element. Super-duper presentation.
It seems a little blurry at the top of the first picture, tho.
But very nice!
Posted by MsCantBWrong at February 10, 2005 04:15 AMYour website is brilliant.
I love the crisp, clear photography of Toronto; and it's refreshing to see another city outside of NYC where I'm accustomed to.
You should be given an award. Keep up the good work, and I'm positive I'm not the only one that can appreciate your terrific pictures... both in the winter and other seasons.
