Toronto skyline view from Mississauga
Toronto, Ontario, Canada lies on the shore of Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the Great Lakes. Toronto is ideally located for operations with a world-wide focus. The city is 1.5 hours by air to cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Hartford, Boston, and Chicago, with direct flights available to most major world cities. The city is located in the Eastern Time Zone which allows for convenient communications with key people in the eastern seaboard of North America, while providing excellent windows of communication to European centres. The multi-cultural nature of the city (over 100 ethnic groups) provides international companies a large pool of the language skills necessary to operate in international markets.

Bardzo bardzo fajne;] Podoba mi sie , chociaz lepiej by bylo jak by to niebo za miastem bylo by jasniej wtedy miasto bylo by lepiej widoczne. ale ogolnie bardzo fajne. Pozdrawiam;]

Wy¶mienite, przemy¶lane zdjêcie. Natura na pierwszym planie, cywilizacja w dali a nad tym wszystkim ponure niebo. Jaka¶ symbolika ;) ? Perfekcyjnie technicznie.

Bonjour Ziggy,
Au risque de me répéter, c'est encore une photo très artisitique, qui transforme complètement le paysage. Une photo onirique !
Excellent comme d'habitude.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Ziggy,
A nice and creative way to present the Toronto skyline using your "Titan" style, I like the light on the foreground rocks opposed to the dark skyline silhouette, well done !
Have a nice week end,
jean-Yves

Hello Ziggy
nice one, i like the contrast between stones (past) and town (present), and this stormy weather (our future ?).
good POV and DOF. i like this light.
good job
Regards, Hugues

The clouds and the color of water gives an impression that the city is abandoned of these inhabitants! The first plan adds to the scene of the depth! Beautiful composition! Cheer!

Hi Ziggy,
Nice light, good foreground and framing.

Bonsoir Ziggy,
Une vue qui même lumière et obscurité, netteté en flou, un petit peu moins bon est l'encadrement.
Regards.
Daniel.

Woow,
So sharp and clear. The POV is excellent, the composition is very good, with the FG snowy rocks - otherwise it would be like a shot from a boat. THe sky is beautiful and the CN tower is so impressive. Great shot, Ziggy.

Ziggy,
Great handling of the light - this time the light is in the foreground, and the city is kept in darkness. Very good effect and dramatic!
Regards,
Magnus

Wow, I have the impression you reserve your best shots for TE. What a delightful portfolio here. At least for someone who likes natural beauty and the combination of wilderness and the manmade. And this photo is a superb example of that. Dwarfing the skyline of a great city behind a few rocks with snow on is really a very deep statement on relative greatness.

Good point of view and DOF.I like the textures,light and sharpness.Good colors and contrasts.Very good sky,I like the clouds.Great framing and composition.Well done!

What a great contrast!
a very strong work really,I like it very much,dear Ziggy.
great depth,amazing heavy colors and also harmonic tones,with a fine composition,good note,...but,I'm not sure about color of the frame,style of the frame is beautiful,I think could be stronger with a dark tone,but...for me,your perfect shot is very important,I appreciate this beautiful work,Ziggy.
Yours

Quite darkish vision of Toronto, but I like it a lot - not only because it looks good but also because it's unusual.
I'll be honest about the frame: I don't like it.
;-D

Hi Ziggy

Wow! Superb lighting & contrast, with the city of Toronto instantly recognizable on the horizon. I like the graphism, tonal range, & contrast, particularly in the foreground. Good work!
