I work at Roy Thomson Hall - thanks for a fun new perspective of it! (Note to non-Torontonians.....it's a concert hall - the Toronto Symphony Orchestra performs there.) Many, many thanks again for sharing your sight and insight, Sam!

What a view. The top of that concert hall looks just like a Chinese drum.

Sam -- if you mean the skypod at the 1,500 ft level I am absolutely amazed at how you were able to get such a clear shot through the glass, AND make it seem so close. Great colour too! Thanks.

I love this -- the music hall looks like an inverted vegetable strainer (albeit a very shiny one with an amazing reflection), I think it's the inverted reflection and the itsy bitsy cars and humans that make this shot for me, nice!! =)

Great choice of time of day to take the shot, that just makes the colours more vibrant. I love the reflection that you can see in the "skirt" of Roy Thompson Hall. The zoom must have been powerful...you can really imagine what it feels like being a bird through this shot!! Love it!

I can see the Peel Pub in the shot. THE best place to see a Leaf game on T.V.

qoJ, I hope you don't drink the beer there, they were shut down twice for recycling beer and just relocated there.

Amazing shot Sam, putting those megapixels to good use ;)

Wow. The detail is stunning, especially considering that with using the kit lens and being so far away, this must have been cropped significantly. (Added interest for me is that the building I work in can be seen.) Great job!

makes me want to procure a magnifying glass and wreak havoc

in a few seconds there's going to be a horrific traffic accident at the top right corner.
