Wow, I've never seen a ship that symmetrical! From the side it looks more like a giant buoy, as if it was actually round in shape.
Posted by Thomas Valen at January 20, 2009 01:21 AMThat is an amazing shot! Looks more like a dock or something out there with the hard ice lower in the shot.
Posted by Tim at January 20, 2009 04:27 AMa sunny warm foto, please
Posted by negar at January 20, 2009 07:22 AMToo much foreground. Needs to be cropped half way. Better as horizontal. Ferry sure is symmetrical.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at January 20, 2009 09:16 AMThis is my favourite shot of late. Really nice composition, colour and tone. I'm really liking this.
Posted by Jason at January 20, 2009 09:26 AMAMAZING!!!!
Posted by SALMAN at January 20, 2009 09:41 AMlove this photo.
Posted by Catlin Humes at January 20, 2009 09:41 AMHey... don't apologize for the scrolling.
The scrolling is one of the things I love about your photos and ddoi; your ability to "multiple-compose" (although this really isn't the best example of that).
Nice!
Its amazing how really cold temperatures affect the scenery. I find early mornings on very cold and clear days particularly stunning: the sun rising over these dense mists that hover just a few feet over the water surface. Not sure if this actually happens in the harbour, but definitely over the more open sections where the water is not frozen and you can see out to the horizon.
The tones, the composition, the DOF. I love everything about this photo. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by Walter How at January 20, 2009 10:17 AMnice shot.
Posted by JB at January 20, 2009 11:20 AMBeautiful.
Where were you standing?
Posted by Stuart at January 20, 2009 03:05 PMI'm loving all the Harborfront photos - I run down there all the time and always think to myself that I wish I could run with my camera, and lo and behold then I'll see you'll have posted a shot I wanted to take! Thanks for the photos!
Posted by elaine at January 20, 2009 03:33 PMAn excellent capture,and an interesting subject
Posted by Mania at January 20, 2009 03:54 PMNo, don't take out the foreground. All that ice leading to the ferry gives the picture a wonderful sense of distance. So does having to scroll down. And down. And down. Great shot!
Posted by f at January 20, 2009 07:41 PMI love the lines of the ice on this... I wholeheartedly disagree with the "too much foreground" comment. I think the foreground is what makes the shot.
Posted by Caroline at January 20, 2009 08:05 PMI Love the angle - while recalling how bad our faux 'walk-through' at the old Roch. terminal (they are shooting some lame ass shoe called 'the Boarder there now...was supposed to do a blogTO thing...too boring to)... me and Tomms took some outside shots of the 'bay' - this is your ship:

Maybe not, who knows - I think mine was an ice-breaker...

Posted by Jono! at January 20, 2009 09:44 PMAt first I didn't realize this was a ship...It is so symmetrical.
Does the ice ever get to the point where the ferries can no longer run? It happens here but not very often...it is pretty rare. I'm thinking with the cold we've had this winter it might just happen.
This is a stunning and stark image. It really conveys the cold. I pulled my sweater more tightly around me while looking at this one!
Posted by Laurie at January 21, 2009 12:20 AMthe composition is great. love this!!
Posted by sofia at January 21, 2009 01:11 AMWow !
Great location and very nice perspective !
Nice shot but the long foreground messes it up, but I love all your work! thank you for all the effort you put into your work!!!
Posted by stan at January 21, 2009 10:23 AMFantastic shot. The perspective works so well and adds emphasis to that sense of isolation that comes with the cold.
Posted by mth at January 22, 2009 01:15 PMAmazing pic - however, the foreground is blurry and doesn't look that good IMO.
