[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken a few weeks ago in downtown Toronto. The building in the background is the Royal Bank Plaza, viewed from the TD Centre. It was built in the mid seventies; its originality is that all the windows are gold plated. (Hey, it's a bank after all!)

I've posted the original picture in a workshop to show the transformations I made. Aside from cropping the original pic, most of the PP was done to enhance the golden hue of the building, which can get lost in some lighting conditions.

Great capture Pierre love what you have done with your pp. You have really brought out the splendour of the gold plated windows. Your composition, exposure and point of view are absolutely perfect. Brilliant picture. Well done.

All of above and of course very interesting similarity between the maze of sprouting branches and the complex pattern of the building structure. Good show.

Very well seen,great graphic work,with a modern toch,excellent silhouette of the tree on the golden background,very well captrured and worked,and a fine composition you managed,too,nicely done,Pierre!
Sincerely

Una imagen muy curiosa por el contraste de texturas: La textura libre del arbol y la textura rígida de la fachada del edificio. Produce un efecto muy llamativo. Bravo.

A very peculiar image by the resistance of textures: The free texture of the tree and the rigid texture of the facade of the building. It produces a very showy effect. Bravo.

Hi Pierre,
Great silouete of this tree agains a wonderfull coloured background. Like the frame to.
Regards,
Paul

J'attends un vernisassage des photos de Pierre!
J'ai toujours hâte de visiter ton site pour voir quelle excellente photo tu nous proposes, comme celle-ci. L'arbre a vraiment sa place.
Composition très réussie. Bravo.

Great photo!This is one of those tricky images...it looks abstract, it isn´t!Love the colors in this photo, almost a degradé.The building and the tree together make a wonderful composition!
Raquel

I like the tonings you've achieved in this photo Pierre, and the branches of the tree adds an appealing softness.

J'aime beaucoup cette idée d'arbres et d'édifice de verre ... bien vu!
Je posterai à l'occasion quelques photographies dans la même veine °-]

I love this photo so much.It is opposites that work so well thrown together in a frame.The darkest colours from the building almost fuse in places with the silouette of the tree.The composition fits perfectly into the frame.I like to take pictures of trees and they look lovely on the screen but sometimes when I go to print small thay come out no good with the smaller branches greying out.

A hard shot to take and you've done it! I love the contrast and repeats against the jagged silouhette of the tree. Fab!
best wishes, Simon :)

Really beautiful. The lightning and the golden colours are great.

Wow Pierre! This is great art!

The branches crawling all the way through the photo across the very well taken building is so well seen.

Also the golden windows are great against the black tree. The angle you took this photo is very well done.

Cheers to you! Yan :)

P.s. Gold plated! Nothing never too much for them. ;)
