The wild angle makes a boring cityscape into an interesting one ... coll

uninteresting...the tilt doesn't save the photo. Its a photo of parked cars from a building.

The tilt of the photograph is a bit too much for me. I think I would rather have it cropped with the buildings vertical and the rest tilted.

I'm sure you wanted it tilted this way, but it almost makes me feel dizzy!

Unusual angle...

That's an awkward angle you chose for the shot - kind of implies you don't particularly like city life. If that was your intention then well done. There isn't a particular focal point though, so it doesn't hold your attention for long.

Another toronto shot!!! I'm not sure what the subject of this shot is or how it relates to City Life.

Good idea in capturing the geometry of the parked cars, sort of a tilted, odd perspective though

Toronto is where I was born and continue to work and live in. This certainly captures what the city is all about, but isn't all that interesting to me as a photo.

Interesting perspective. The angle you've chosen makes this shot.

I find this a little boring for Toronto City Life and I am not fond of the slant.

Interesting angle, though a larger photograph might have been easier to judge.

cool angle...dif than many of the other shots i've seen so far. it does portray city life however it's not very visually appealing, just a bunch of cars

very distant from "life" but so distant that it evokes the commuter's life fairly well. 8.

I think the resizing (if it was it) was not a very good idea.... It's a good photo, great lighting, nice composition, but the quality... it could be better...

Toronto is a big car parking place?

i see a lot of city.. but i cant really see the life.. anywho the tilt is a bit distracting..

Nice shot but the size plays a very important part. Its a little on the small side. If you need help with resizing and saving PM me and I will walk you thru the steps to get a larger size photo for the challenge for the viewers.

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Bad. Rotate so that the tracks go diagonally across the image or have them straight. Actually, I just spotted the road going diagnal. Make the rails go straight accross. The high viewpoint is a challenging composition, because we are not used to seeing things from this angle.
- Is there anything that should be removed? The are several bits along the edges that draw the eye away.
- Is there anything missing? A focal point. What should me eye be drawn to?

What is my reaction or feelings? It doesn't really grab me. I like high viewpoint images, because they are unusual, but there is no hook in this image.
