This is far more dramatic as you have almost the entire pancake cloud covering the scene and the ? stadium on the right.

I think a slightly wider lens would simply ace the shot!

I am learning some interesting geography from your enjoyable photography!

Hello Asher

Thank you for your feedback! The stadium on the right is BC place a huge structure built some time ago with an inflatable roof. The roof collapsed a few years ago and was fixed at a cost of about 900 million. The stadium lights up at night and changes colors.

You may be right about using a wider lense. A 35 is a bit tight for architecture but I don't feel the need to capture whole stadium.

Well, one thing I have noticed is that it is generally bad, compositionally, to cut off a glorious cloud. The latter are God-given magical decorations that the eye wants to get entirely. Here you had a once in a thousand opportunity to perfectly balance the scene below with the most fabulous sky.

Next time, please take 2 or three overlapping shots and send them to me for stitching as I would consider it a pleasure and honor!

I sometimes routinely overlap up to 120 or more adjacent fields with my one 50 mm lens I have on my walking around camera. In that case, I could face 2-10 hours of careful photoshop work dealing with multiple minor errors in stitching, but with a 35mm lens, 3 shots would have aced this scenecand the corrections would be likely zero as the scene is far away over the water and there are no parallax challenges.

So if you can, when fate gives you such a cloud overhead and a magnificent vista of the inlet below, think of Asher and take 3 overlapping shots, just for me!

One thing is for sure, the sky makes this image.. and the reflection of it makes it even more outstanding. Imagine this image with a cloudless sky; would not move us anywhere as much as this treasure! :) Maggie
