Hi Alvin, Nice capture of this big brown! An interesting composition with the bear and a skycraper. They sort of go hand in hand....both are huge. Janice

Nice shot Alvin,

A good representation of Vancouver- a very modern city with deep 'Roots' (do I get paid for advertising?) in Canadian heritage.
Nice work Alvin.

I have to admit, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out which building (or where) this is.... I'm guessing near Canada Place Waterfront Hotel etc????

All the best Alvin!

Alvin,
What a neat image. Very original. The composition is perfect. I am trying to visualize how the compo. could be improved and I can't. Good stuff ! And those clouds...wow
By the way, I really appreciate your intro.

Hi Alvin, I very much enjoy the subtle touch of humour in this shot, it really makes me smile. Excellent composition here and a very enjoyable reflection of the clouds in the building. Great work! Sabine

It could be worth trying a similar shot on a 'blue sky day'?

Hi Alvin,
What I find interesting and funny here is the PoV, with the risen paw and the convergence resulting from the distortion it gives me the impression the bear is defying the building !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Alvin - I love the way th eclouds are reflected, making the tower look transparent, and the bear adds a touch of humor to the sombre sky.

Hi Alvin. The low shooting angle works really well on this one, showing the unusual ensemble of the high-rising building and the seemingly saluting bear statue. The cloudy sky is a nice asset of this one, it makes a fine background and the way it is reflected off the windows amplifies the effect even more. Fun and interesting shot.

Hi Alvin,

Great shot with a wonderful angle of shooting this photo. I love how you captured the statue of the bear against the sky as if he is really looking up into the sky. The clouds look awesome too. The best of this photo is the reflection of the sky in the building, I just love it! Great composition and very creative! '

Greetings,
Ann

Thanks for explaining the bears - I wondered what they were doing everywhere!! A great angle on this one - the building and the sky - the bear pointing to the whiteness of the clouds is a perfect take on the idea of the Spirit Bear - 'Father Sky - hear our prayers....' and all of that......but then our skies are not so pure anymore either....the skyscraper reminds us of the impact of humanity.....plastic bears and rainforest parks by the grace of Mr Stanley!

best wishes Kev

Hello Alvin. You have an amazing ability to capture the sky and clouds and this photo adds to that fact. This photo has some great contrasts as well. The angular building is set off by the rounded waves of the clouds. Coupled with nice muted colors and a great reflection, this shot is very good.
Regards,
Chris
