Your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman
« on: June 24, 2016, 02:18:57 »
Taken a couple of weeks ago outside of the Toronto Eaton Centre Shopping Mall, in the heart of Toronto's downtown.
On any given day, but especially on weekends,
the corner of Yonge and Dundas is a magnet that attracts all manner of persons; sidewalk merchants, philosophers, artists, beggers, preachers, and buskers of every description.
And yes, even Spiderman. Apparently to the astonishment of no one.

I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.

You put a smile on my face with Spiderman :)
Is it my screen that I see it a bit underexposed?

Robert, I like the mixture of the somewhat surreal feel and humorousness.  The red markings on the road adds an interesting geometry to the image which is very fitting to the entire composition.

Jakov, Akira, Armando,
Thanks for commenting.
About the exposure/brightness, I think it looks fine on my screen.
