Last light of the day. Winter scene of the old part of Quebec city.

Good light and shadows.

Merci pour vos commentaires. J'etais a l'observatoire de la Capitale situ頡u 31e etage du Complex G. C'est l'edifice le plus eleve de Quebec.

Plus tot, le ciel 鴡it partiellement nuageux et le soleil n'offrait pas la meme luminosite. Avoir prit la photo plus tot aurait permi de voir plus d'immeubles ensoleilles, par contre la couleur de la lumiere n'aurait pas ete aussi belle. Merci pour vos remarques.

Definately the right moment for the shot, good patience.

fantastic light in this image in winter!!!

Beautiful view Gaetan! For me, the warm light, long shadows, and your high vantage point really make this wonderful (6/6). The far shore is a little distracting, so I tried a version to see how it would look without it. If you find it offensive let me know and I will delete it. Regards.

Great.. shot Gaetaen, amazing shadows..

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it and you editing version of my photo. I agree with you, the far shore is a little distracting. But for me, it gives the real scale of the Saint Laurence river. I also like the border you make it add to the beauty of the shot.Thanks again for taking the time to write a constructive comment and to do this fine editing work.

Excelente juego de color y luz,,, enhorabuena,, un cordial saludo.

original et simple, belle composition

Great winter scene shot. The contradiction between the warming sun and all the ice and snow is terrific. Well done.

Lovely. Just like looking at a miniature water glass bottle. Jigger for some snow? Congrats.

Gaetan, very good lighting and I especially like those long shadows on the frozen river.

Yes Peter the right moment for the shot, and good patience, because I planned this shot since January 2004. All conditions must be met and the building where I took this picture is usually closing at 17:00. But that evening it was open until about 20:00 because of the opening of a photo exposition. I was invited to this presentation, so I took my camera with me.

 

Hi Gaetan, I like Alec Ee comment :). I look at this and I remember how cold it gets on the Saint Lawerence River there with those long shadows. Brrrrr, Nicely Done. Cheers Nova :)

6/6

Yes, it can be very cold on the Saint-Lauwrence river. Last year january 15th on the ferry between Quebec city and Levis, I took picutes of sea smoke with temperature at minus 26 Celsius (-14F) and very strong winds equivalent to extreme wind chill factor on the river of near minus 55C!

Quebec city get each year about 316 cm of snow! Snow precipitation can start as early as October and we have falling snow as late as April. During winter, only few days have temperature above O degree celsius (32 degrees F.) So the snow stay on the ground until mid April!

great eye ! cityscape shadow... brilliant idea !

I really like the reflection of the building on the snow...

Beautiful light!!!!!

This is great at day time too.

Excellent !

Superb! I love the golden glow and the shadows!

Spectacular shot all around.. Thanks for sharing this beautiful image. Cheers! 6/6
