Hi Daniel:
Surely that is a significant stage. You set a wonderful composition, where the blue sky, clouds with its striking, combining well with the rest of details that can be seen in the foreground.
People passing give it a dynamism unique; good balance in the frame, proper handling of the lighting.

Hi Daniel, this is a good shot of the Museum of Civilization with the Parliament Buildings (Peace Tower and Library) seen across the river. The lighting is good, with an excellent sky. Interesting that everybody is still wearing a jacket on the 1st of July. It must have been a cool one. The colour in this area very good, especially that sky. The shot is now a little dated, it would be interesting to compare it with one you will be able to get in just a few days.
I like the picture very much, but, I'll bet only 80% of Canadians know that that is the Parliament buildings, and probably less than 30% recognize the Museum of Civilization, and you can bet in the rest of the world there are even fewer that recognize these important Canadian landmarks. All that being said, if "a picture is worth a thousand words", in this case I would suggest you needed about 1,100 so people really understand the importance of this shot.
Happy Canada Day 2008
Thanks, John

Daniel,
that is a very good image of Quebec with a composition that I have never seen before. The modern buildings at each side of your image gives a very good frame for the gothis style cathedral in the background. Modernity and old are well represented. But that isn't all in this shot! You also got a very good daily life scene with the people in bright colors walking and enjoying this wonderful day with great sun and light as well magnific clouds in the sky. The use of polarizing filter was really the trick to make this clouds pop out.
