This is a shot I got a couple of years ago on Queen Street west, here in downtown Toronto.
The Cameraon House Tavern has been a fixture in this city for many years, and at the time, its exterior had just been painted with a beautiful mural. On this particular day, the sky was overcast which further saturated the very vibrant colours. Luckily there were no cars in front of the building, so I parked across the street, waited until an appropriately dressed person entered the scene to give it a sense of scale, and got this shot.

This mural makes for an intriguing image, and your patience in waiting for just the right person to come along paid off.
I like this one very much!

Perfectly executed I would say.
Any particular reason for chopping of the feet (not that I really miss them)?

thx

I cropped along the bottom of the supergraphic on the wall, because below it was nothing but "dirty" sidewalk.
It was a tradeoff. I lost her feet, but to me, the image seems cleaner this way. The sign above reading "The Cameron House" was cropped out for the same reason.

Makes perfect sense to me,
