Somehow I am thinking about:
positive ~= slide
pessimistic ~= peso-mistic

Anyway - the deal is closed. Now I am positive pessimist.

Hi!


It
could prove interesting... Though recently I noticed that I have a
tendency to compose from upper left to lower right... Probably it should
mean that I am rather pessimistic person...


naaahh, that psychology stuff is pure hype, ask Tom Cruise; Based on
your posts I can tell you are a positive kind of guy


I did not say negative. Pessimistic is not necessarily negative ;-).

Interesting that you mention it Rick, in the process I end up with 6
versions, and cut it down to two final versions, one showing more
detail in the right side; this one looked "punchier" to me, but that's
probably because I was comparing one against the other. Thanks for the
comment

Good call !!! I tried it and it looks cool, like some sort of
spaceship structure or something like that

Hi Fernado
maybe lighten up a bit more the building and use a denoiser for the sky
could be an option?

Actually, it's Roy Thompson Hall, home to the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra, and one of Toronto's premier music venues, which is right
across the plaza from Metro Hall.  They (RTH) are clients of ours
(small world, eh?).

Anyway, that's a really cool photo.  I like the geometry, I like the
composition, I like the conversion.

Good one!

cheers,
frank
