Hi Andre, I read on a website that over 8,000 people work in this tower. You're right about the windows, not everyone gets one... but the view must be spectacular! Cheers, Ina

Hi Ina,
Yes, and when you think about all the people in their little cubicles at the windows.... just think about the unlucky ones, without a view! Three dimensional office boredom.

Hi Ina ... and Thank You :) Very good one! I liked the original contrasting blue sky very much, though. A tad more tight crop could also be an alternative ... if this isn´t nitpicking, then nothing is ;-) *hugs*

Thanks Paul, good suggestion with the sky! This was a strange picture & crop to be sure, but instead of working more on this one - I'll get out there and start shooting some better ones - LOL :)Ina

Hi Elisa, and Thank you :) That is a great improvement, I fiddled with it, cropped the top, and I actually didn't get as good a crop as you did. Look at this, please (I did one similar to yours, with the advantage that I had the whole picture - LOL) - Hugs, Ina

Re-cropped as per Elisa |

Very bold and interesting! Great play of lines & light, which is emphasized by the tilt. My humble suggestion would be to concentrate more on the great V-cut and give the massive left side just the role of ~ 1/3. Something like the attached version (not cropped at the bottom quite this much):

Hi Ina,
I agree with you, when we used to use the film it was much thought of pictures as cropping and composition had to be thought before you click, now with digital, one not only clicks many pictures with different settings but also tend to decide later how to crop and add the contrast.

Andre, your story and picture are priceless! I had no idea about the plastic piggy bank, but it does look so similar! It's wonderful to hear stories like this, one has no idea about the real anecdotal history of a city or a building when coming to town. That little Scotia piggy bank is already a valuable collector's item - it's a gem :)
I looked at this picture of the tower on my screen, and the black windows looked so unnatural, like little holes, just thinking that in every black square there is a person, a desk, etc. It looked like something out of a Spiderman movie.
Thank you so much for sharing this story & picture, it's really great :) Ina

Funny you should say that about the plastic feel to this one Ina. When they completed this building The Bank of Nova Scotia gave out plastic piggy banks in the shape of this building to all their customers.
Wasn't that nice of them to show they appreciate us for letting them keep all our money :)
Here is a very lovely reproduction of the real plastic building.

Hi Sam, I thought this very sleek building looked "gothic" and a bit cartoonish-grotesque, sort of like in Spiderman :)

Hi Ina,
I Think that you accomplished what you intended. I think that the diagonal lines are well composed and thought out. It does have that plastic feel to it. Well done and presented.
My Best Regards

Hi Mehul, and thanks for your comment. I wanted this to be "in your face" - massive, raw, bordering on grotesque. I generally don't offer an interpretation of my intentions - but in this case I felt it was necessary to explain the low resolution and crop. Generally I discard low-res pictures, but here I liked it for what awesome power this enormous bank building conjures. I especially liked the dangerously low V-cut almost tearing into the bottom of the page, and I intentionally cropped it tight. I never intended this to be a "nice" picture.
Tell me what your thoughts are, Cheers :) Ina

Hi Ina,
This is a nice subject, again this could have been cropped better.
