Odd Square in front of the Air Canada Building

I like the second pic. I think it might be better with Staples and the sunspot cropped out. Of course I love columns and architecture

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comment Dave

That is odd allright. I'd like to see another view of the statue that shows whatever is on the other side.

Your overall images are intriguing leaving me wanting more.

First image is very nicely composed. I would try to run it through a photoshop warming filter or simply reduce the amount of purple/magenta in the image. What lens are you using though? There's some funky distortion/blurring in the corners. Try and crop that out a bit... and maybe a do a slight gaussian blur-- the image looks oversharpened.

I think that is Don's style

Im going to try using my lap top for photos. It has a sharper monitor. I can't see these distortions with my CRT monitor. That may be the problem.

I'm using my .38 wicon. The lens isn't perfect but it gives me a 14 mm effect even though the edges get a little stretched and unsharp. It also vignettes in two or three corners.

Ah... I can see how the sharpening technique you use can be used purposefully for a certain style but I was pretty sure the distortions weren't purposeful . Try using the photoshop lens distortion tool unless DXOptics has a module for the wicon (which would be pretty neat). Crop a bit and the distortions will also be gone. Nice pics though.

I don't use photoshop. I use a simpler program called photosuite. I can do manually what photoshop does automatically in most cases. I odn't want to crop out the edges of the photo--I'd rather have the unsharpness. I clone rather than crop the vignetting in the corners.
