Posted by Pierre at March 25, 2006 02:30 AMyonge looks eerily empty
Posted by job at March 25, 2006 02:30 AMBecause, every day, I see your beautiful photographies.
And tomorrow too, and… and… and…
Thank you a lot.
Amazing perspective against a the remarkable background.
Posted by Carlos Lorenzo at March 25, 2006 05:59 AMLovely exposure.
Posted by Maran at March 25, 2006 06:23 AMExcellent colors (again) and very interesting perspective. Great job on minimizing distortion. I like this shot a lot, Sam.
Posted by Abe at March 25, 2006 06:45 AMWhatever you shoot at 17 mm looks gorgeous. Whatever i shoot at 17mm, ends up in the recycle bin :(
Posted by iNoxKrow at March 25, 2006 07:26 AMThis is a great shot! I do have a question though...Where is the traffic?
Posted by Laurie at March 25, 2006 07:30 AMwow! just like a Richard Estes painting, or something by Ralph Goings. I love this, the fact that there are not many people in the shot either is even better.
Posted by Rhys Baker at March 25, 2006 07:31 AMWhere all the traffic? Next sky and reflection from the Eaton's tower.
Dan.
Posted by Dan Salmon at March 25, 2006 10:34 AMgreat shot! i love how the picture draws my eyes to two different focal points....the tower and then the building at the very end of the street. tunnel vision!
Posted by shiv at March 25, 2006 11:22 AMYour photos almost made me cry...
Simply loved them!
Congratulations from Portugal***
Posted by Marta Pereira at March 25, 2006 01:01 PMUh? Where are the cars and all? Toronto Sunday morning? Of course, in the 9 years I lived there I don't recall experiencing that point on a Sunday morning so .... Hmmm?
I'm impressed with the detail in the Shadows and even to the flash back on the buildings reflecting the late afternoon sun. Speaks well for Canon's CMOS sensor.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at March 25, 2006 01:20 PMDid you photoshop all the traffic out of the picture? :) PS - funny how "photoshop" has become an accepted verb...
Posted by Kieran at March 25, 2006 01:27 PMGreat light and amazing sky color. It seems like there should be people everywhere in this scene, yet you've managed to capture it relatively empty. Very nice.
Posted by Jack at March 25, 2006 01:38 PMExcellent sharpness and color balance. I really do like the sky. These many kinds of blue.
Posted by Tom from (Lucerne Times) at March 25, 2006 02:29 PMnice road
Posted by alexandre at March 25, 2006 03:11 PMAmazing that you shot this with practically no cars around. Nice one!
Posted by D MacIntyre at March 25, 2006 03:54 PMHello!
This picture is simply amazing...
Loved the colour of the sky, the beauty of the building, the essence of urban life!
This picture will suit perfectly in my search work about the contrasts between developped and non developped countries!
I would like to know your opinion about portuguese photographers!

Congratulations!
Posted by Marta Pereira at March 25, 2006 06:30 PMThere is not a car on the street, although I see a couple way in the background. Did you purposefully wait for the street to clear before shooting this amazing scene?
Posted by micki at March 25, 2006 10:10 PMis that what they call visionary?
Posted by Peggy at March 26, 2006 01:08 AMthe sky looks like it belongs to some different scenery alltogether.. the prairies for instance.. and it;s peeking with curiosity onto that confined space of a city street
Posted by Susie at March 26, 2006 03:03 AMnice one. cool perspective with the small houses in the foreground and the skyscraper in the background
Posted by M4gic at March 26, 2006 07:13 AMYour photos are fantastic. Really inspiring. I've looked at nearly all of the ones in the archives and some are ridiculously good! I've just started my own photo blog but I feel a bit lame after having looked at these! If you could find the time to comment one of mine and give me any pointers, I would be very grateful. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Posted by Dustin at March 26, 2006 08:08 AMNeat perspective. Am also puzzled by the lack of traffic... is this a Toronto fantasy scene?
Posted by Eleanor at March 26, 2006 09:32 PMI like the composition of this one, with the big mirror building being a little to the left. Nice use of the polarizer too.
Posted by Nate at March 27, 2006 11:43 AMHi Sam. Just a quick note ... the building at the right is actually at Yonge & Queen (you can see the Queen subway stop sign), while the building from the photo previous to this (I believe it's 205 Yonge St., where the Toronto Historical Board used to be) is up the street a bit... you can see a bit of it just past the Elgin theatre there. Just a small point. :) Great pic, by the way. Joe.
