Thanks very much Fahad, this struck me also as "global warming" when I saw it - but it was minus 14C, and... pretty cold! It's not warming up here yet :))))
Have a great day, Ina

Thank you very much Sascha, you don't get to see this very often. The sun was hitting the smoke, and it was more impressive to see than in this picture. I wanted to post a pano, but I got lens flare in most of the pictures. Best regards, Ina

Thank you very much Srna :) It's something I've never seen before, it was -14C and the smoke stood up straight, it was not moving! Best regards, Ina

Thank you very much Jordi, I wanted to post a panoramic, but I got lens flare in most of the pictures with the sun almost shining into my lens :) Best regards, Ina

Hi Gary, and thanks :) This is straight from my balcony, in my "backyard" so to speak. It's a pretty view, and it changes dramatically with the sunlight. No Rocky Mountains, but some sunrises are spectacular. I should have bracketed some pictures to try an HDR, but I was in a hurry, this was handheld. Best regards, Ina

wow, great city shot, Ina! Like I say "the big smoke"!! hahaha Not much to critique here. A well balanced shot with great morning lighting. Additionally, the fog/smog really adds to the mood here. Were you in a building to get this shot? a great view of the city wherever it was taken. Cheers, Gary :)

Thank you very much Michael, I had no idea finches were that fast, thanks for telling me so I can appreciate better now. I suppose with a bird feeder I would catch more, but it's not practical: first the mess, then there are hawks around. I don't want to set up a trap. Hope your move went well and you're back to normal daily living! Ina

Hi Elisa, the cutie was back on my balcony this morning (must love being in pictures!) but I wasn't ready for it :) Instead I got a foggy sunrise - Hugs, and Thanks, Ina

I really like the archways & how they bring my eye over the skaters and to the building in the background. And with City Hall having the same shape really complements & finishes well.

Hi Ina:
I really like the framing and backlighting as well as the crisp detail and bold color on this little birdie. They are often so fast and fleeting that this shot is really a great achievement to a real challenge. Well shot, great photograph. Some might scowl at the highlights but for me it's more important to bring out the details of the bird the way you have it.

Thanks very much Andre, I took a number of shots in Chinatown but somehow I don't like the color pictures I took, I find B & W or sepia has more character. The signage jungle can be interesting but I didn't yet find the right angle :) Best regards, Ina

Thanks very much Andre! I had the door closed, and I knew that if I had opened it, the bird would have flown before I could take a picture. This way, the bird couldn't see or hear me, I was standing about 7 ft. away from it and got 5 shots in RAW at approx. 240mm before it flew. The others flew away seconds before, this one stayed a bit behind. The glass is not tinted, but it's old and etched by weather. I had a few white spots which I cleaned in PS - which might have been snow flakes, and have done levels/ contrast/ saturation/ sharpening but no more than the regular adjustments I do on any other picture. It was a lucky combination of the bird being in the right place with the right lighting :)
