i wonder what is happening on the top floor of KPMG
No, it's not. That's the derrick crane that was erected on the roof in the summer. I haven't been able to figure out exactly what they're doing with it.If you mean the crane thingy, that's for window washing.
i looked at that again, and actually, drum's angle could very well be justified... the lines match up perfectly with those of Scotia Plaza. so it's symmetrical.

Nope. When you take a picture of buildings at an angle looking up, the lines should converge towards the middle (unless taken with a camera whose film plane can be tilted to remain vertical while the lens plane angles upwards). This means that the lines of the buildings (assuming they have vertical walls) on either side of the frame should slant towards the middle of the picture with only buildings in the middle of the picture appearing vertical. If the lines on Scotia Plaza are lined up with the left edge of the picture, then that means that the horizon is not level, but slanted to the left.
In the above photo, while Scotia lines up with the edge, Bay-Adelaide is tilted.
For example: In the following picture, the right edge of Commerce Court is the only line that looks vertical (because it is in the centre), while the buildings slant more and more as you get toward the edges of the frame.
Photo by me.
And Drum, this is not a criticism of your photography!!! Your pics are great and much appreciated.
It may tic people off that my photos are not square, but I like shooting things on an angle from time to time
i actually don't like trump at all from the back (more precisely from the south-eastish).. the setback on the east wall is way out of balance...
And awesome news on the hotel opening!... what do you say 500+ UT members chip in $1 and we can all squeeze into a room at Trump Tower for a night... party time!

I don't mind criticism if it helps me to be a better photographer, especially since I moved to the D7000 camera a month ago with a learning curve for it at this time. Not happy with most of my shots with it so far.
Some thing have to be done on the software side now. Between it and the camera, its a learning process. There are a few plugs in I need to buy and it will require time to learn them. Based on my workload, it will be down the road at this time.
I am almost finished working on my photo shots from Oct 7 and still have close to 2,000 to work on to get me up to yesterday shooting, which was only a few. That one week of solid shooting every day kill me for being current.
This video is so incredible that I'm sure someone else must have posted it on a thread somewhere, but if they didn't... Trump makes an appearance towards the end. http://vimeo.com/30788720
