CN Glow

CN Tower in downtown Toronto, ON. The world's 3rd tallest free standing structure at 1815 feet.
Didn't have a tripod for the picture, rested the camera up against some retaining blocks and voila!

Wow! This is a great angle. My eye was bit to drawn to the bottom left corner and the extra black space, so I think either moving a bit more to the right, or cropping out the left to get the lines of the building equaled out in the frame would be a good idea. Otherwise, I love it. #1318665Katie W October 18, 2010
Thank you for the comment and advice, Dustin! I was kind of wondering the same thing myself when I cropped it. Believe it or not I had first cropped it the way you recommend! I don't know what I was thinking when I switched it... Should've just stuck with my gut feeling. I'll be sure to change it, thanks again! #8981244Paul Rommelfaenger October 18, 2010
Personally, I'm not one of those symmetrically perfect folks. I prefer the little Kilter drawing my eye to the bottom and then over the top. You can change a version but I would not lose this one. #8981466Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
