the corner of yonge and dundas

some days the sun is just *sunnier* than others... can`t explain it other than that... happy friday everyone!

(and no, that is NOT a bird in the air on the right... just something that is part of the wires that mess up the view of the sky in downtown toronto)

tx all for the continued views, comments, favs and new follows... and for getting my pawn shot into the top twenty... made my day :)

[Edie]

Love this. Today did feel a bit sunnier to me too.

[Edie]

Came back to fav it. (I'm kind of pretending that IS a bird though)

[Maggiemae]

Great use of the blur and contrast with the high brightness of the sun!

[Jeff Walker]

I love how severe the contrast is on this. Fav

[Robyn]

totally looks like a bird up there!

[Dandolo]

You are drowning in sunlight while we drown in rain. Love the contrast. Sometimes everything is just black and white.

[❀ Lynn]

Nice one...must be your keyboard unless things have changed since I posted about two hours ago!

[dh (delena)]

You have perfected this type of shot. I like the shadow of the woman in the foreground.

[joey d.Muli]

You really defined Modernity (in photography!!)---cooooool editing as always :)

[Amy]

[Gloria]

Melting. And, love the bird...:-p

[Kate Goring]

Fabulous shot! It looks like the sun is enveloping those tall buildings. That bird like thing is cool.

[Katia]

this is perfect! :) love the hard contrast between the black and brilliant white! :) and the bird is just wow! :)

[Katie]

Cool! Love how the buildings seen to be melting away in the light!

[Michelle]

You are so wonderfully brave with your photography.

[☠northy]

@michelleyoung in shooting or in processing? definitely not in shooting... on any given day you will find a dozen people with cameras (dslrs) at the corner of yonge and dundas... it's just *that* kinda place :)

[Michelle]

I think both... you think differently.. your shots are never just like any other shots.. your high exposure etc.. I think you are very good at it.. you see things in a different way.

[☠northy]

@michelleyoung awwww... tx Michelle... such a nice thing to say :)

[John]

Love the contrast

[Jocasta]

Brilliant - love the her shadow

[emily tull]

[Deni]

Super b&w and lovely processing. Fav.

[Gail]

I can totally feel the sun in this shot.... fantastic!

[Andrew S]

Oh. lots of great shadows here, I particularly liked the onre on the person in the foreground. Still lookd like a bird :)

[Breigh]

You're right some days really are just sunnier than others. Such a great photo. Man I miss Toronto sometimes!

[Johanna]

And oh, how we love the sunnier sunny days. :) Great shot, I do like how the people in the back have mostly disappeared in the shadows, and only their legs / feet are visible.

[Caroline]

Gorgeous contrasts. Beautiful brightness.

[Sue]

Love this shot!

[Abhijit]

love the high contrast treatment. never would have thought it would work in a street scene
