My days...what a SHOT!...just splendid! By the reflection and that blue you def. must have used a polarizer. Great Great SHOT...!!!

Oh and the cars...they look a lil' unreal...was that from correctin the barrel distortion or the wide lens?

Absolutely amazing!

Spacey but rich... Cool!
I agree with you about the 'wonderful atmosphere' after the rain :)

Woaw !

Fine photography, great light but the landscaping has a way to go.

Outstanding colours indeed WVS! The blue, orange, red and green are very, very powerfull. This colour-explosion gets beautifull repeated in the puddle. Great light and composition too.

I'm following (and admiring) your work for a couple of years now, and still it inspires me. Thank you for sharing!

It's very beautiful street shot. Very nice reflection on the water and so great colors tone. It's very sharp. I'm so like Canon EF-s 10-22mm ;)

yes you are right, great textures. the only thing i don't like here are those two cars on the right. they disturb the picture a little bit (because there is only old urban stuff to see).

ciao

fabulous colors.

Nice photos men!
I visit you blog every day! I really like!

Great colours! So vivid, and beautiful lighting.

I have to agree the colors and textures do look refreshed after a rain. Nice framing in the puddle.

Great perspective and contrast in color . The partial reflection of the building helps the area feel grittier.

Super picture. I love reflections, too. That's a great location and you picked a perfect spot to shoot from.

In the '70s and '80s, I used to love shooting down around Cherry Street: the beach, gulls, and the industrial water activities. The condo eyesores weren't there, of course.

What I find intersting in photos like this is the extreme contrast of reds and blues with the low angle of sun - morning or evening. This is striking with the red buildings and then the reflection to double it up.

Very intense view. Nice eye candy. It's a goody, Sam.

Yep, uh-huh - rain does leave a great footprint, which you've managed to capture incredibly well.

My first thought was "delicious" ! I can totally relate to your comment ... I love to head outside after a heavy rain to soak up the atmosphere.

Hey can you post a desktop resolution copy of this image?

Thanks,

Fantastic. The colours and details are stunning. That fence is a green as grass...

Absolutely luscious colours. Lip-smacking stuff Sam.

Splendid shot!!

A puddle is a wondrous thing......thanks for sharing it, Sam!

once again, amazing picture!
From your last images, I'd say you really like this new super wide angle lens :) (I know I do)

Wow! I posted a picture that I took right after (and kind still during) a rain that I took a short while back. Colors are very saturated after a rain when the sun brightens things up a little. All the colors in this one is great with the red, green and blue! And the reflection is a plus.

Gorgeous shot today. I love the colours on the ground near the puddle that is reflecting the building.

GREAT SHOTS! VERY GLAD TO KNOW YOU

the colours in this one are great! love the blue, green and red & the cracks on the ground creating broken edge of the puddle is gorgeous. great job! :)

beautiful vivid colours. you are getting a lot of mileage out of that lens.

I agree with your commentary. The colors are rich and warm, and the reflections and composition here are just great!

That's gorgeous! One of my favourite DDOI's in a long time.

what a beauty!!

WOW!
Love the colors.

Great shot. I agree with you about the heavy rain - everything always looks a little surreal for a while after the weather clears.

I love this. Taking an ugly parking lot and making it look beautiful through photography.

I've seen quite a lot of reflections photography recently, so it can start to become a bit 'samey'. But you know what? I like this, it works pretty well for me, and ties in with your unique style of photography.

I admire how you make something from nothing. Most people would have passed by this scene on the way to something more beautiful, but you manage to find beauty in a rather dismal scene. Nicely done again Sam.

OOOOoOOOO0000hhhhhh~! It reminds me of a paint splatter...if that makes any sense to anyone...ok bye!

Wow! Aren't these buildings near Glendon College on Bayview and Lawrence? Excellent shot.

i don't blame you. this is a great scene. the reflection has have a whole new meaning to the photo. great work sam.

don't know much about photography but I know THAT's PRETTY! :)

ps. enjoying your photos! a lot!

And you captured it perfectly.

wonderful!

Wow, amazing colours. Could we have a wallpaper size, pretty please? :D

Wonderful reflections that day! Such strong converging lines almost rush us right to the back of the shot.

IS it a scene of Fata Morgana?

Yeah, I second the desktop resolution request. I'd love to see this as my wallpaper!! Please! :)

Reminds me of Burtynsky.

I like the dimensions and depth, with both the left and right fencing narrowing to the back depth - and the clouds mirror this as well - a spacious feel to the forward area of broken "mosaic" pavement. Reflection of building not only in water, but also the near mirror image of the adjoining building. Bold color contrasts are great. One of your best, I think.

Hoho you make the most mundane stuffs look amazing. :)

Your pictures are breath taking. You are extremly talented. On a different note... Iam related to Janie Creba and although our family is not talking to any media I must acknowledge your pictures of that day. You truly touched my heart. Thank you for caring. I wish you much success with your future endevours.

Realmente buena, una foto bonita de un lugar "feo" :)

B e a u t i f u l !

I guess most of what can be said has been so I won't labour the point but the colours are wonderful...you are right Sam there is a very special light after a storm, you seem to have captured it so well here.
Phil

one of your best in awhile imo

Great shot. Fantastic reflection, composition and colours.

i like this one...nice...

Nice colors, like the green fence and chaotic ground.

Lovely reflexion. The way you composed the photo whith this big puddle just under your feet. It seems to tell a story.

Great reflection...very vivid red/orange brick colors. That sky is great, too! Cool shot.

Very nicely balanced shot. Simpley amazing
