    Toronto Skyline

    I took this shot from Toronto Island last summer. Actually I took like 40 of them experimenting with different Aperture & shutter speed settings.

    maybe just crop out the stuff at the bottom...Otherwise, this is nice...Looks like it's almost the perfect time of day for this type of shot.

    yeah, the grass at the bottom isn't very pleasant. Maybe I'll Photoshop it out.

    Very nice shot, and as mentioned above, perfect time to take this shot. The one thing that caught my eye first was the very bright, overexposed light on the top of the building on the left side. Other then that, great shot and great colors!

    Nice shot Leels! I would hate to lose anymore of the water.......I would try cloning out the bits of tree limbs at the bottom. And then drag a little blur over that area to blend it in. Beautiful spot to shoot from.

    I agree, any loss of water would be losing a major factor in this shot.

    I love these shots especially over water with such brilliant colours reflecting off the water.

    Agree with everyone about not loosing any more water.

    Excellent

    Very nicely composed shot. Could even crop out a bit of the top of sky to concentrate attention even more although I do like the gradation in the sky from light to dark.
    You've placed the tower in just the right spot IMO.
    Leave all the water just clone the twigs.
    I gotta get back to TO one of these days. So many photo ops there. Kensington Market and Chinatown are little gems for photography.
