| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #3 July 16th 2006 16:09:39 | The colors are more striking in the second version, but I don't know how believable they are. I think what keeps this image from being better is that the Opera House is not clearly standing out from the background. A lower shot angle would have been better, I think. Dropping the background shoreline in the frame and letting the structure protrude into the sky would have been more dramatic. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #4 July 17th 2006 07:42:17 | hmm i really liked the shadows on the Opera house. Unfortunately i wasn't wandering around the harbour to take photos, but more up there to visit a friend. Funny i live 3 hours away yet never find time to visit to get some really good photos! Plus it was handheld, so alot of my other photos are a bit blurry. The orange hues of the edit look great, maybe not believable but striking. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #5 July 17th 2006 13:21:37 | It's not the shadows on the OH that I was commenting on. They are interesting. It's the background. Take a look at your other OH picture and see how the OH is framed against the sky. Looks a lot more imposing from that angle to me. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #8 July 27th 2006 07:50:55 | yes i like the shadows too, i agree with Bob the shoreline is distracting. Next time i visit Sydney i'll try and see what other photos i can get and also get a few shots of the bridge. | |||||||||||||||||||||
