Very sombre mood to this photo (?)

Is this taken using a wide angle lens? Did yu have to do some perspective editing in PS?

Just amazing. Great contrast on the high level society with the seal, and the struggles of everyday life. WOW!

Absolutely stunning composition. I was just reading AllSeasons blog with her post of the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank suggested foods list, and your blog was my next stop. Life's little coincidences...

great little surprise at the bottom of this one. I scrolled down expecting to see some architectural granduer, but instead... Very clever!

I echo Emma's comment and also appreciate the tags on the door. Nice.

Wow, this is a very nice piece!
I started at the top, and thought it was just another pretty building.. but then it got to real present day life. Amazing.

Scotiabank has a nice logo and that's why I am a loyal customer of Scotiabank. Sam, can you take a pic of the logo( the nice red one) next time?

I wonder how much of a beggar can be a man who seems to be selling books for a living.
As for the picture, excellent composition.

Very nice shot. Yonge and Dundas is so busy! I can appreciate how long it took you to wait for the traffic of people + cars to pass.

I liked the photo but when I read the text & I found that he posed for you i felt another way !
