I think you've captured very well the whole scene. I get the sense of the crowd and the vastness of the "rink". It's hard to say, but I might have chosen a less centered point of view, probably to the left to get more of that nice line of trees as a background. Still, a very nice shot. TFS!

To TOURNESOL... it ain't no rink. It is a canal a bloddy frozen canal. Brrr it is soooo cold in Ottawa. Used to live there many years ago when I used to work in the city. Nice photo... like the people doing their thing. THanks Sarju

Bonjour Sarju. En regardant ta photo, j'entends les cirs de joie des enfants et le brouhaha de la foule. Très belle perspective également. Amitié, Patty.

Hi Sarju,
Nice. I think you portrayed the spirit of ice skating very well. But, for the distance of this canal, I think, it may have been better to have shot it at a location where there wasn't a noticeable turn or "end" in the background. The composition is okay. But, you could play with taking it at a diagonal and see what you get. Your note on this one was great. I just finished the virtual tour...I can't believe it took that long...and at that speed!...very informative... Interesting subject! Well done!
And welcome to TL!

Learn to skate is one of the things that are still in my 'want to do' list ;-)
I guess it is an incredible feeling.. wow.. I'll buy a roller and just keep rolling :)
Beautiful shot!

Ta photo donne tellement une bonne idée de la foule qui patine durant les fins de semaine que tu m'as convaincue d'y aller durant la semaine. J'aime beaucoup moi aussi patiner, j'y vais au moins deux fois par semaine durant tout l'hiver. Patiner sur ce canal doit être toute une expérience. Merci pour les liens dans ta note...

Très belle scène du canal Rideau. J'aime bien l'angle de la prise de vue avec toute la profondeur de cette image. Bien vu et bien fait.

un bon sujet de photographie, avec de belles lignes de fuite et une rivière de gens. Tout est plus beau sous la neige. Au premier plan, je crois voir quelqu'un qui te prend en photo, mais avec un appareil argentique car elle regarde dedans.

Hello Sarju,

From the critic you left on one of my photos on TE, I ended up here. Great shot of the rideau canal. I haven't been there since my chilhood, and this photo reminds of nice memories. Good point of view and I like the play on perspective.

Bonjour Sarju
Excellente publicité pour un pamphlet touristique d'Ottawa!
Il est admirable de voir la perspective verticale parfaitement respectée. Peu de gens s'en soucient.
Admirable.

I like this shot. It's kind of like a "Where's Waldo?" photograph. Lots of people in what looks like a narrow skate path. Nice.
