You really have done some great architecture fotos. It is not always easy to catch the right crop, but in point of view you have a fantastic eye for catching those kind of images in a perfectly way. I really enjoy viewing your portfolio.
Cheers Sascha

You have done such a good job to extract the visual abstract potential in this architecture, Ina! The lines and contours are well suited to classic black and white treatment.

Beautiful, Ina! Your use of this new wide angle lens is fantastic. The abstract qualities of converging curves in the roadway with the strong verticals is masterful. I think the choice of B&W here is excellent as it allows the lines to stand on their own as abstract elements. The bold aspects of geometry in this are powerful.
As suggested alternative possibilities in this shot, It might work well to show more of the verticals to balance the strength and broad lines of the roadways by choosing a slightly lower perspective closer to the road and angling upward slightly. That would also give the flag a bit more open field around it, which may or may not look better. Also, it might be interesting to experiment with greater contrast in this image, which would further accent the lines, making them a little bolder yet. These are merely alternatives to what is a well balanced shot as currently presented, not critique per se.
I must add though that you have a great eye for this wide angle architecture work. I have dabbled a bit with a wide angle lens I got a while back, but have not yet found the "handle" on using it and haven't used it much. Yet. There is definitely a wide angle technique, and I have not yet found the right inspiration for it myself, though I'm sure will come, perhaps from your own excellent use of wide angle. Great stuff Ina!

Ina,
Great use of leading lines and "S" curves in this photo which also adds to the impact and gives this photo a really neat perspective.
Best Wishes,
Chuck

Hi Andre and thanks for the welcome. I'm still not familiar with the city, I know my way around downtown on a couple of square kms, but not more. So I have to discover the places. It's hard not to fall into a cliche, and I'll probably fall into one sooner or later, unbeknowst to me. This morning I was there again at 5 AM, hoping to get a decent night shot, but it was all fairly dark, with all the Christmas lights turned off, so I didn't even stop. It has been hit and miss so far :)

Hi Ina,
Welcome to Toronto!
It's nice to see that you haven't fallen into the trap of the standard post-card type of image of City Hall. Your two shots capture the modern spirit of the buildings without the cliched familiar look that we see so often. Very nice job!
I have to point you into the direction of a couple of my shots from the early 70's of the same buildings. I have three images in my Architecture portfolio called "Down By The Henry Moore" Here is the middle one.

Try, try again is always a good thing... who knows with what kind of image you'll end up eventually... ;-D

Very cool shot! I think the curving ramps and the b+w give it a 1950's, sci-fi feel. Excellent.
