wow! i love the lighting in this shot, and i think you've done very well to achieve such minimal blur with the people- a problem i often have with night shots. nicely done

Not a bad fireworks shot. Personally I find the heavily blurred foreground distracting and would have cropped the lower edge close to the bottom edge of the gangway/walkway.

Busy, but it works well, and I love Aussie shots.....

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Happy New Year! Looks like a fun party. Nice take on City LIfe! For the most part, its a clean clear crip image. The lower right portion of the image (walk way) could be a little clearer. Very nice composition tho. 8

I somewhat wish that the people towards the right of the frame were better exposed, but even this works rather well.

Beautiful tonal quality

Rally interesting--lights, fireworks and the perspective; would like to see more definition in the foreground and figures

Cool shot. If it were mine I might play with cropping out the blurry stuff in the foreground, possibly some to the right as well(?) - and possibly up the contrast to accentuate that guy sitting on the bridge. Just a thought. Might be easier to do outside of basic editing tho. My eye loves those split domes (amphitheater?) in the background. Thanks for this.

Great combination of colour, activity and structure. I like it.

Reminds me of times as a little girl with my Dad. Thankyou for taking me back in time. 10!!

Love it, Before i saw the title i knew it was Sydney. It's nice to have a recognizable landmark in your photo. Suprisingly, with the fireworks, and alternative light sources, this turned out really nice! Excelent job!
01/05/2006 03:01:34 PM
Wow. This is beautiful. It's cool how you show the people in the foreground and the fireworks and opera house in the background. Nice smooth, clean image. Maybe a little less exposure could preserve detail in the fireworks though? Or a different moment may provide more colorful fireworks? Everything else is great.

beautifully shot from not the typical sydney vantage points
01/05/2006 12:19:15 AM
What a creative perspective! Good use of the available "tripod" :)
01/04/2006 11:31:56 PM
Love how the background and middle ground compete for attention with the hint of a foreground. I feel I am participating in life.
01/04/2006 07:39:08 PM
Wow... has a floating/fleeting effect. Great job
01/04/2006 03:26:04 PM

01/04/2006 03:20:41 PM
