Christian, down here we see that change in the atmosphere as smog. You should see the Phoenix area most any day. This is very pleasing and you have captured nice detail in the buildings without taking away from the great expanse of sky. Don.

I like to say I was born on the side of an extinct volcano in the middle of a giant river. Montreal is, like much of Canada, steeped in geography. It is where I was born and I grew up just the other side of the river between those two bridges.
Home and beyond... for me at least, no other view could hold this title so well.

OK. I will retry for my own sake to set that horizon straight. All the time I spent working with this image, I couldn't stop wondering : how can this be ? It must have a slope, but then not that much. This is the St-Lawrence River we look at, and it flows from right to left, so if there is a slope it must be contrary to the one showing here. But if I had tilted the image to get a good horizon line, can you imagine the shift it would have introduced on the buildings ? Very strange. But pehaps it will resolve itself with the Pinch control...

Have you tried to Pinch the image a bit in Photoshop? That usually removes the wide angle distortion. As I noticed the tilt in the previous image (but did not comment on it as it was besides the point there) I had a feeling the horizon was slightly sloping, and don't make the 90 degrees angle with the vertical lines in the building.
Cheers,
Hugo

Thanks again Hugo for your clever comments.
Of course, this was shot on the same evening as the previous posts. It's amazing that within a couple of minutes - in this case I think it was less than 15, and from the same site, one can extract many different images. Each one has its own notes. I still have one pending, with my wife at the balcony. A human presence adds something in it.
You are right about the tilt. Not sure either, but I have to fight with the lens distortion at 18mm here.

Bonsoir Christian, même si je peut comprendre le Français, il me manque les mots d'éxprimer ce que je veux dire, alors, je continurai en Englais....
If I'd known about this photo befor I "analysed" the others, I think I would've changed my view on the others slightly. Without the balcony, this shot carries a little less tension by the absence of clear lines. I do think the colour saturation and view of the cityscape express the evening atmosphere stronger.
Very good capture and expertly exposed. Is it just me or is this shot slightly tilted clockwise? Either way, it does not really matter; the buildings seems straight enough to me...;o)
I like the red advert, it attracts the attention immediately. It also keeps the viewers' attention. Amaising to notice how a few pixels can contribute so much to an image.... A very good detail.
Cheers,
Hugo

Beautiful lighting/lovely mood here. Man made "beauty" in the foreground and nature?s beauty somewhere in the distance ...
