Downtown Vancouver

I have been working on long exposure B&W images recently, and wondered

what people thought of my execution, and composition of this shot.

Please give it to me straight up! I will not be offended.

Great shot.

Very nice shot...love the sky!

Thanks so much for the compliments.  I took a number of shots from various locations of this same scene, and this was the one I felt had balance.  Cheers.

I agree this has balance and it's execution is spot-on.  I think this is the best of your series.......you're doing some good experimentation with shutter speed.  The sky and water both have a really special quality to them.  Now I'll go and comment on a couple of your other shots.

Thanks for your very kind comments, Christal.  This is another one of my favorites from this series.  All the best.

Of your long exposure series, this is easily my favorite.  One, you have great clouds,  Two, and most important, I like contrasts, and the boulders in the foreground contrast with the buildings on the other side.  They also tell a story; it's as if the rocks are looking across at where their kind once resided, now forever gone.  It's the contrast between the natural world and the built environment that you've captured so well, and you've done so in an aesthetically interesting way.  That, IMO, is excellent photography.

Thanks so much Stephen.
