About the Image(s)
I took this photo in Toronto, Canada, during a holiday. I captured the CN Tower, a landmark in Toronto.
The CN Tower was once the tallest freestanding structure in the world, standing at 553.3 meters (1,815 feet). Although it no longer holds that title, it remains an iconic landmark and the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.
I’ve taken many photos of the CN Tower over the years. This time, while passing through a narrow alleyway in the late afternoon, I noticed an interesting perspective that framed the tower’s peak against the sky, creating a striking composition. Meta data attached. Thanks

Quang,
Toronto is one of my favorite cities and the building of all those apartments really changed downtown area near the lake. I have not talked to Canadians I know about this reality but I bet they are not happy about it.
That is the only real issue I see with the photo: that high-rise of apartments! It takes up a lot of space in the photo. One idea is to crop out the high-rise at the top left - although that could be tricky. Another idea is to use some sort of mask to reduce the exposure of the high-rise a bit.
What I love are the clouds and the Tower reaching into those clouds. That part of th photo is timeless.
