One of my favourite pictures of Downtown Toronto taken from St. Lawrence Market. Fuji Neopan 400 film simulation

Awesome! I like the BW effect and that the photo is so sharp. The content is also great - the older buildings in the front, with the modern skyscrapers towering above in the background. The only things I would mention here is that the foreground is cropped. Maybe it was impossible to frame it differently, but It feels a little odd with some cars being cut off like that, and it seems like there is even a person's hair in the photo.

I only had the Pentax-A 28mm f/2.8 lens with me which was a little tight at this location (couldn't really back up any further) and really wanted the negative space at the top. I'll try cropping out the cars next time.

BW works great in this picture, very film-like appearance. The way those towers disappear to the clouds looks awesome. I think this is worth a nomination, so: nominated!
