This is very good, Alana, this is you at your best. Strong perspective of this tubular railing of the bridge, beginning, it seems, right from the camera lens, very nice perspective of the bridge itself, awesome sky, and even some people on the bridge (especially I like the blurred cycler;)) Very strong work.

Cheers

I don't normally go for frames, but your choice here, with the whole striking image it contains, seems to work well and add something. Really stunning work.

Super cool and such a different angle ... you can even see a bike rider "running" through (if you look close enough).

All the best from Zurich (already hot at 9 a.m.)

This is a fantastic picture. The use of the wide angle on the curves, the sky in the background, the people on the bridge -- it all comes together here.

Fantastic shot ... top of the line alana ... or maybe I should say topmost of the line.
Two things I like a lot about this photo ...
1 ... the angle and the distortion ... both are remarkable ... I just love it ... if I could kiss a photo ... this would be it .. I wish you could see the expressions on my face right now ... lols
2 your composition, the blue sky, the clouds and above all, people standing on the bridge .... excellent work over here.
I bow down to this photo of your Alana .... accept my salute with lots of respect and regards.
I would definitely like to see this photo getting something close to 200 points. okay I have to go downtown to meet up with a good friend of mine ;-) ... thanks for sharing the remarkable view
cheers .... sarju

Hi Alana
Nice perspective and angle of view, which delivers a strong composition. I've never heard of this bridge so glad you have shown us this view. The wide angle lens has given a good, exaggerated view to heighten impact. Well done.

Hi Alana,
I had this one on my head for a while. It's an outstanding work and I can't see any falts here. The excellent composition with the diagonal across the image, the amazing strong perspective (regarding the distortions that we both love...), the appealing strong colors, the people seen up there (and a cyclist, I supposed) and the gorgeous painting on the sky: Everything is perfect! 7 favorites explain how good this is. Congratulations!
Have a nice sunday,
Ricardo

Uff.. Just finished an exciting trip around Toronto and its vicinities. Your pictures Alana, speak loudly your love for the city. Your perfection in controlling the amazing abilities of wide angle' lens, and immaculate finish added to your works before you post them for our enjoyment - evoke nothing else but the deep respect and…Yes…The pure enjoyment!

Hi Alana.
IMPRESIVE SHOT !!!
Assez folle cette image, l'utilisation du grand angle donne un effet hallucinant.
Cette armature qui part depuis l'angle, cette dof, ces teintes incroyables, ce ciel...pffffff, génial !
^Bravo

I love your perspectives...very, very good. It makes me want to go and grab my camera and start shooting (one of the highest compliments I know how to give to a photographer...the other being 'I want to hang one on my wall').

Very good technique...a little lens distortion from the super wide angle but very nice.

Very well done...it's a shame that one can only give 2 points at a time.

Cette photo est magnifique, surtout le ciel.

Hi
100 points for a great picture. I love the effect of using wide angle lens close to the object. The composition is perfect; the sky couldn't be better too. People visible on the bridge make this photo alive and also give the idea of the bridge's size.
Best wishes

Hi Alana, Fantastic POV and you're right - the Sigma lens is excellent as we can all see here! :) Looks like you used a tad of HDR tone-blending here as well but I could be wrong! Great shot. Regards, Doug

Hello Alana,

I've been looking at your pictures, they are wonderfull and this one here really stands out. Great colors and POV. It looks like you have mastered this Sigma 10-20mm lens, this is a lens I'm planning to buy and looking at your pictures is just helping me to make that decision. great shot. TFS.
