Toronto Eclipsed !

Revision title: Alternate version - Expanded Cityscape

Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Toronto skyline is widely recognized around the world due to the CN Tower. This tower, which is mainly a communication antenna, was completed in 1976 and is 553m high. It was the world's tallest structure for 32 years until 2007. If you measure city size by the population within city limits (and do not include the sprawling suburbs beyond) Toronto at 2,956,024 people is the 4th largest city in North America, after Mexico City, New York and Los Angeles with Chicago right on its heels.

This is a PhotoPills product. I just can't believe the power of this app which runs on your phone. I planned the location back in January 2021 when I first learned of the eclipse.

I traveled to Whimbrel Point on the north shore of Lake Ontario to get this picture. There were about 100 other people all watching the eclipse, and 1,000 screaming seagulls all thinking that we each had food to give them! One could not resist getting in my shot. I don't mind, they were part of the experience. : )

Title: Alternate version - Expanded Cityscape

Description: I combined the full panorama, and used Topaz Denoise on the buildings as well as Topaz Sharpen on some areas. Its less realistic than the original with the seagull, but showcases the cityscape better.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
