Wow! Honestly. This is 10 outta 10. Those colors are purrfect.

I was worried for a couple days about your photos..but today's really reminded me of your talent. Awesome shot.

What an ugly city Toronto really is!!!

very good work, man! sharp, nice colors...

Really nice. Great colours and nice lines with the subject. I enjoy seeing all these colours meld together to create such a well balanced image.

that was good.

way good.

wow. unbelievable...
great shot!

Sam, awesome as usual. I think I see a little 'process remnants' in there - but I'd have done the same thing. Beautiful, simply beautiful colors.

What a powerful photo! You captured something from an era that is gone and so will these unless they are turned into condos.

I'm with Sketch. I prefer this (as well as the psych hospital pics & any/all landscapes you capture) to your "A Day in the Life" pics.

Love the balance in this. It sets off both water & sky spectacularly. It has a lovely dreamy, early morning quality to it. The dreaminess is enhanced by the brooding clouds behind the silos.

Beautiful, Sam! I'm a lowly peon working for a local bookstore & am earning only about poverty level, but your pics set me dreaming of someday buying a Digital Rebel. Perhaps I can someday bring joy & beauty to peoples' lives in the way you manage to do, over & over. You have a gift! Thanks for sharing it w/myself & others. God bless you!

gorgeous composition, colors, light, reflection

Could I please have a copy of this at 1024x768 for the desktop? It would never leave. Great pic. Love this one best of all so far.

great shot sam.
process remnants?

There is a certain majesty there! Thank you.

hey...check out that one cloud...it's in the form of... the apocalypse!

I second the call for a high res wallpaper. This is a great shot.

Damn, this is my favorite of yours. Right off the bat.

I like it. The water looks so calm.

Brenda, I'm not trying to pull back Oz's curtain, but there are some visible traces of the processes Sam used in the digital drakroom to achieve this amazing shot.

I won't get into the digital darkroom process debate, but suffice it to say that most shots do not look this good "out of the can". In fact this shot in particular would be nearly impossible to shoot as the lumens off the towers and the water would darken the sky. You'd have some parts of the shot over exposed or under exposed or both. Most shots need a little 'help'.

Again, this isn't anything bad. Most of us do it. But I see them in this shot, which is uncommon in Sam's shots.

could we get 1280X1024 please?

Beautiful shot... showing beauty out of an industrial subject is not easy....

That's an impressive shot, sir. The composition is stunning. I look forward to the post-processing summary.

superb - quite superb

Sweet! Say, isn't this that building they wanna rebuild into 'metronome'?

I'm a daily visitor to this site because there's something happening every day and the photography is of a very high standard. I only have praise for the photography, but a smaller size would be nicer to view. Now you have to scroll up and down to take in the whole picture, especially with a vertical one like this it does not do justice to the beautiful composition in my opinion.

great! this is a big pic... it's like it has many elements... the awesome sky (luv your sky shots), the yellow stuffs... th e reflect in the water...

its beautiful-- and i dont mind the scrolling part at all

interesting photo!!

Great shot, definitely one of my favorites...I also agree that shots like these are far more beautiful to look at than the day-to-day life ones, but...that is the point of a photoblog, afterall. It becomes less about the absurdly perfect shots (which do come, especially from Sam) and more about the photographer's ability to have something new every single day that can make you think. The subject matter might not be the most original, but you start to see how the photographer looks at the world through his camera...I find that fascinating.

It sounds like many people do not like digital post processing or at least want to know what kind of processing has been done to get to the final output.... While I am not sure what is right or wrong, the fact is that befor photo processing softwares existed, photos were somewhat manipulated by push/pull fstop in the lab or using different papers to enrich the colours, etc.... then the question is that fixing a photo with photoshop or similar software is worse than older techniques and to what degree it is allowed... Other than that I think this particular photo is spectacular.

nice

don't like the upper sky....cheesy

love everything below!!

Wow, holy crap. That's incredible. I love the symmetry, the colors, the reflection in the water, how it perfectly portrays a great sense of symmetric equality without having to rely on older methodologies. Very cool!

Stunning! The best I've seen on your site to date. Second that motion for wallpaper!

I'm not a fan of perfection/symmetry......what I like about this pic is how the reflection in the water doesn't mirror the straight edge of the top of the structure. The water acts as a distortion to the seemingly 'perfect/symmetrical' aspect that everyone is raving about and makes the pic more real, more beautiful in my eyes....

dreamy

Terrific colors, surreal scape. I love the clarity in your photos. Great work yet again.

beautiful, really, so well done. three levels all excellent all complementing. perfect

Almost a Vanilla Sky
