Posted by buyable at April 13, 2007 02:14 AMI really like this.
Posted by florence98 at April 13, 2007 03:36 AMWouw, the light is perfect!
Posted by Tom at April 13, 2007 04:21 AMJust "wwwooowwww".....!!!!
i love this one, and i too am considering getting one of those 10-22.
As always, great job Sam...
Posted by Nicolas at April 13, 2007 04:47 AMscary looking guys!
Posted by Susie at April 13, 2007 04:48 AMHi
I've been a long time subscriber to your RSS feed, and I love your daily dose. This however has completely blown my mind. I hope you don't mind but I've put it up over at my tumblr blog at beefrap.tumblr.com
Keep up the fantastic work!
Posted by Kev at April 13, 2007 05:14 AMI like this place, there's also a nice elephant :-).
Posted by Tessa at April 13, 2007 06:19 AMYour posts over the past few days haven't blown me away, but this one is great; I've seen these guys before, but never so close, and the light you caught on them just brings them (eerily) to life.
Posted by JVL at April 13, 2007 07:02 AMhave you been to Calgary? we have almost the same statue...
Posted by bev at April 13, 2007 07:16 AMAh, very cool. :) I love the light on their faces and similar tones throughout the photo. It's like they belong in that world and appropriate that no humans are in sight.
Posted by Andy at April 13, 2007 07:21 AMI love the tones you pulled out of this image!
Posted by Sean Galbraith at April 13, 2007 07:21 AMWhen we lived in Toronto I always loved seeing those metal guys! You've done a great job capturing two of them going about their business.
Posted by Jack at April 13, 2007 07:40 AMNice one! These guys look like they're having a jolly chat after a days work.
Posted by Jeremy at April 13, 2007 07:47 AMWho were these men?
Posted by Christine at April 13, 2007 07:50 AMI think the framing is perfect. I also think that the use of black and white was a great choice. I love the way they both seem to be looking up at the buildings in amazement.
Posted by MarkL at April 13, 2007 08:12 AM"no really, sir
it's my pleasure...
really it is"
Nice shot. The toning is nice too.
Posted by Alice at April 13, 2007 08:38 AMcool. looks great!
Posted by Serena at April 13, 2007 08:39 AMexcellent
Posted by DOLLS at April 13, 2007 08:47 AMI love the tones in this photo! Nice use of perspective too.
Posted by Bill at April 13, 2007 09:15 AMThis sculpture is by the late Canadian artist, William McElcheran, who created a series of sculptures of portly businessmen which were a whimiscally gentle, yet critical, commentary on capitalism.
Great lighting and colour for this one! Thanks for finding and sharing, Sam!
Posted by Kathy at April 13, 2007 09:34 AMI always thought this was mediocre corporate sculpture in a cold corporate courtyard, but you've caught something dynamic and humorous for sure.
Posted by matthew at April 13, 2007 09:50 AMThat is an Amazingly Eerie photo, well done!
Posted by serkoart at April 13, 2007 09:58 AMThe statues interest me for they are new from when I lived in Toronto. I'm curious as to what they represent. The closest one makes me think John Belushi. They make for a moody shot.
It amuses me how many are jealous of your 10-22 lens, which is way useful in the city. Out here in the country I'm aching for more telephoto - to get close to the birds and all. There's no end to want.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at April 13, 2007 10:37 AMwow, really nice shot
Posted by sutter at April 13, 2007 10:42 AMReally nice angle, and great subject matter.
Posted by Jonny at April 13, 2007 11:04 AMtotally amazing shot, grats on giving this picture something really special with you wide angle!
Posted by paul georges at April 13, 2007 11:52 AMOustanding atmosphere and dark\bright style. Also love the contrast between round shaped statue and sharp straight building paterns. There really somthing here.
Keep shooting so Awesomely

You are Excellent!!!!!!!
A captivating shot, perfectly exposed and very well composed. Good job!
Posted by marcello at April 14, 2007 07:20 AMGreat perspective. I didn't see these guys last time I was in Commerce Court, assuming this was shot there. Love the toning, too.
Posted by 24by36 at April 14, 2007 10:07 AMA great shot, I love the tones and the light reflecting off the guys.
Posted by Rich at April 14, 2007 02:35 PMre: Calgary
I was shocked when I saw this in Toronto too!!! The inscription, if I remember correctly, says that these came in a set of 4.
I wonder where the other two are.
Posted by Darren at April 14, 2007 08:29 PMThe capture is just perfect with all these lighted windows !
