Well, 'A Never Ending Task' if I were doing it. :-)  This pro would probably finish the job in a day and move on to his next task.  Best, LM.

A very fascinating and interesting image, with an eye-pleasing graphic feel and an effective composition. I love the effect by which the black thin frame seems almost to belong to the geometrical pattern on the building's facade. Was it done on purpose?

No!  I'm not that deep a thinker.  :-)  But, now that you mention it, it seems to work.  It was simply an image of opportunity I couldn't pass up.  Just to beat the drum for these P&S cameras, on the print (6x9) one can see that the worker is wearing glasses, a feature that is not readily observable here.  Thanks for your visit.  Best, LM.

Very nice composition, an eye catching. I like the juxtaposition of the  small "rounded" human figure vs. the sharp lines of the geometric towering building. ( frightening  indeed). But what I like best is the close up of the second version that enable me to see all the details, yes glasses as well. So you see sometimes it is good to enjoy the two worlds....;-)) Nice work.

This photo, a candid street shot of opportunity, was the first shot I took after leaving the subway on a recent trip with my son & grandson to the CN Tower in downtown Toronto, On.  It begged to be taken so I obliged.  I am very pleased with the result, a testimony to the strengths of the P&S cameras. (light, easy to carry & operate, and capable of high quality photos).  The detail crop is @100% of a very small (511x598 px) portion of the original 2816 x2112 pixel file.  Makes a very nice 6x9 print.  Many thanks for your always appreciated visits.  Best, LM.

Thanks for your most welcome visit.  The angle is due to my feet being on the sidewalk but I was able to exercise a tad of control by placing the subject in silhouette with a change in my camera position rather than having him pasted against the windows as was the case when I first spotted him.  Best, LM.

That fact had escaped me but you are correct!  Thanks for pointing that out.  I felt from the moment I spotted this that it had potential.  I am most pleased with it.  Always a treat to hear from you.  Best, LM.

I like that nugget of wisdom.  I wonder if the window washer depicted here ever  thinks of his job in that light or if it's just a means to a pay cheque for him.  Words to ponder.  Thanks for taking the time.  Best, LM.
