Spirit of 19th century Toronto, a photo from Ontario, Central

Photographer's Note

Toronto's old whisky factory now preserved as an interesting artist colony, full of galleries, boutiques, cafes and restaurants even a large scale theatre - a real people's gathering place.
Tried to squeeze as many views as possible on one page, but by no means inclusive.

Hi Janos,

It's a nice idea you had here with your collage! And the sepia tone working well for it!
Just two remarks; It is a pity that the two top pictures have only such a small difference in point of view. It becomes obvious quickly that we're actually looking at the same building, just with your camera a bit to the left. And the bottom right picture stands out a bit. Adding a colour picture is nice, like the old car in it, but I wouldn't do it on the edge of your collage - would have added him in the middle at the bottom. And I would not have framed it if you don't frame the other 4 pictures. ;-)
That's all! A bit of critique, but nothing that would make me dislike the picture now! I'd only like it more with some adjustments :-).

Greetings! Dennis

Szia J嫕os,
I've been looking at this collection for a while now, and I positively like the last piece, it represents to me the modern factory area and this is fine. I'm not so sure about the precpective distortion stemming from the use of your wide-angle lens. Poles and walls lean into the photo in a somewhat unattractive way. In my view it would be better to use a focal length of approximately 50mm (around the middle of your zoom) and compose some details of the building a bit more carefully. Sometimes less is more and I think showing some details of the building would reveal more of its character.

Hi Janos,

the idea is nice - but I惴 not sure about the COLORED photo itself, and I惴 also not sure about the fact that this colored photo is in the CORNER.
