great contrast... the hotel is totally out of contest there!

Sam, correct lens name. There is a typo 1-22.

the juxtaposition brings out the texture of the church walls so nicely.. it's like two buildings meeting accidentally at an intersection of different dimensions

A stunning picture and great pictorial composition of a sad combination of buildings. I like the detail on the church and the clouds.

I really like the clouds, and the church is fantastic!

Fantastic use of perspective and contrasting the "old" with the "new". Nice shot.

Stunning. I love the colors !

And, as usual : so sharp... but how ???

nice.
imagine what Monet
could've done with this.
mmmmmm.

Great shot! Right down to the reflection of the sky in the window!

Nice shot, is it HDR? If not it's a very good exposure! Did you use a ND Grad?

Nice contrast again between old and new. Gives the impression here that the old building is stronger and will prevail.

Unbelievable Sam. The past meets modern. Quite inspirational as always.

if there wasnt a perfect picture of the old mixing with the new than this is it. and the beauty of it makes it so, well, perfect.

astonishing!

Ok - jaw just hit the desk..

what a fabulous shot of old/new architecture! nice job.

I like this one, quite well portrayed in my opinion. Like the old and mystic feeling of the church while there is this modern building in the background, makes you stop and think for a moment. Also, sky have exposed out just amazing!

Excellent! Great merging of the old and the new. Composition perfect, as usual.

Excellent composition! Impressive!

Another dramatic and impressive shot! For a while there, I was thinking all your effects were coming from the camera, but now I suspect...filter?

I've just started using Lightroom and it's a big help.

You?

very lovely photo. i like the contrast between the old and new architecture and the strong contrast.

trés fort contraste ...

I've always been facinated by the contrast between these two buildings -- this photos captures it nicely.

Nice, I work around here too (if by queens park you mean avenue). I really like the detail in the brickwork of the church. I'm still trying to learn how to get that sort of detail and lighting contrast in my photos. Great work. This site is terrific.

I love the contrast of the architecture, and the colours, and the light -- but that is not a hotel. It is the Renaisance Plaza, a condo, with offices on the Bloor St. lower floors.

This almost made me spill my coffee! Wonderful image, especially the contrast of old and new :)

Love the colour in the sky, great structure!

Beautiful light! Well done! Your composition is great!

WOW thats an amzing picture. that really something, i like the contrast between old and new and how the fuse together.

Love the colors in this picture

Really like the light balance in this shot. Toujours awesome!

Awesome! I really like the clouds and the building texture. Was there any post processing or are those colors natural? Great photo.

Another composition that shows a wonderful blend of the old and the new. Great perspective.

Nice composition.

Great combination of old and new.

Beautiful shot. I used to volunteer at the soup kitchen that ran in the church's basement through U of T.

Nice the way the church is in shadow and the other building is well-lit. Nicely captured.

Really nicely done. I could see framing this photo for a spot on the wall.

What a fanstastic juxta juxtapoo jux ---- contrast of buildings ;-)

Superb work - your blog is an inspiration. Well done.
