olá, congratulations for these 3 years on TE! i like quite a lot your photo. the colors and reflexes are great. i think that this is a good photo for a panoramic view. also, it looks that it is a bit tilted to the right side. anyway a good photo, congratulations.

Happy anniversary Alvin, the lights, the clouds, the weather conditions and the single separated boat more than make up for the somewhat nondescript architecture. Shame about the brutal calendar, which will make me "almost 40" in June, and maybe about the (barely noticeable) cw lean of the horizon :-)

Hello Alvin,
Happy anniversary and congratulations on three years & on a excellent shot. I was told after my first few posting that this was addictive, it could very be.
Thanks

Bon anniversaire sur TE, Alvin! Presque 450 clichés en 3 ans, toujours d'excellente qualité, et cette façon de nous présenter de si belle manière ta ville, trouvant toujours le point de vue original et la lumière particulière pour la magnifier. Merci!
Amicalement

Hi Alvin, congratulations on the 3 year anniversary. The rich gold and blue contrast is a great way to celebrate. Very good exposure on this one giving us a bright view of your home. Excellent texture seen in that sky and reflection in that still water.

Thanks, not just for this shot, but for your past efforts as well, John

Hi Alvon,
3 years, that's a long time, and still addictive to it. Members like you with high class material from the Rockies are very useful for serious photographers and people who need information about places and locations, thank you for that..!!!
Your hometown as the way you see it, always in a perfect exposure, always a pleasure to see this beautiful city through your eyes...thanks.

G'day Alvin!
3 years, eh: it's been a real pleasure having you on this site, your work inspires so many of us, and keeps us all coming back to your gallery - we've all learned something from you great photographs. Re this one, however - I agree with 'capthaddock' about the horizon, otherwise another fine submission.
Best wishes - here's to the next 3 yeras!

Hi Alvin
Congrats on your 3rd anniversary. As usual your shot is stunning. Shot while there is still a little light makes a nice colour combination of blue and orange (opposites on the colour wheel). How did you manage to not have camera shake from the traffic on the bridge? There mustn't have been much traffic.

Hi Alvin,
Congratulations for your 3rd anniversary in TE.
And you celebrate it with a beautiful photo of your home city at the blue hour, in a very elegant composition, in which I like the light and the colors of golden tones that contrast with the blue of the sky and of the water.
The luminosity and the reflections are perfect, in an excellent work with the exposure.
Great work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Alvin,
sorry but I'm a little bit disappointed with this here. Let me put it straight. Three years at TE is a great mark, specially with the gallery that you have. That means a lot and we can see clearly what that three years means to you in progression of photographic skills. You did giant leaps and every shot is a new revelation. The colors, composition, clarity of image, sharpness, etc all this is perfect, at its best BUT you committed a capital problem at your PP. The shot is badly tilted or at least the graphical impression is of tilted and that is something that I cannot let it go when I see a commemorative post in the gallery of the great Cormac. You can do better! I hope do you understand what I mean. It is frank and from the bottom of my heart!
Anyway, Happy Anniversary! I see that we're 1 year apart ...
Peter

Bonsoir,
belle photo de cette ville sous ce ciel a l' heure tant aimée des photographes, l' heure bleue,ce ciel avec ces nuages bleu foncés qui s' étirent,ces bâtiments qui se reflète divinement dans cette eau gelée par ce long temps d' exposition de 15 secondes, en font une superbe et magnifique photo pour votre 3eme anniversaire chez TE.
Félicitation pour votre gallerie très jolie et intéressante a visionner.

Hi Alvin,

Congratulations for your 3 years on TE, the reflections in the water are asset to the composition. The long exposure gave an excellent result. There is a good contrast between the colors. The pont of view leads our eyes towards the end of the bay, Have a nice day.

Hello Cormac,

Being so busy and travelling here and there I am not so keen about reviewing pictures in TE, although I keep sending one every day. But there are some exceptions like your site, and the pictures of Vancouver and around do not stop amazing me all the time.
You will definitely make me think about coming over one of these days.
All the best - Izzet

Hi Alvin,

Congratulations on 3 years on TE! This is a classicly beautiful impression of the Vancouver skyline. The soft sky and bright lights are mesmerizing.

You were the first photographer I marked as a favorite here on TE and I'm still learning from your gallery daily. I also really appreciate your support in critiquing my images and providing advice over my first year on the site. Here's to many, many happy returns.

Best of light to you Alvin!
