Nicely done.

Lovely scene but I find it needs a fairly significant counter clockwise rotation to align the verticals and horizontals. I do love the blue hour and this is a great representation of how to best display that magic twilight time.

Beautiful panorama. How many shots did you use for this one?
I will have to get up there one day. So far I have taken all my panorama from the Museum of History in Gatineau.

You are quite right. I thought the camera was 100% level, but obviously something must have slipped in my setup. I shouldn't work on these things past midnight...

This one is a 6-shot pano. I find the view is far nicer than from the Museum, as one is shooting from higher ground.

What a gorgeous city and gorgeous shot! It's got it all in spades. Very thoughtful composition, it's a fun image to be in.

Amazing that a scene I've seen in person many times still looks so beautiful when photographed with such skill.

I agree and it also gives you the opportunity to include a foreground element which make for a stronger landscape photo.

My first impression was that the image needed some clockwise rotation. But then I looked at the crane - the cable is hanging staight down. All verticals in the buildings and the lamp posts in the foreground also look fine. I think the camera was perfectly leveled.

If you will note at the bottom of his first posted image, he updated this after he made the rotational adjustments.
