Incredible fisheye capture and looks like a star filter added. Wonderful color and contrast!

I love the fisheye effect to make it look like the city covers a whole planet.
01/26/2006 10:22:19 PM
Nice areial shot! Colors are great!
01/26/2006 03:07:24 PM
Cool shot .. would have liked to have seen it maximise the sze to 640 .. just creates that bigger omph facter I think ... like it anyways visited last year and couldn't get a pic like this.

Another magic shot, taken at such a great vantage point..... I love this, as it is "MY COUNTRY" as I am an "AUSSIE", and its also where my boys live.....
01/24/2006 08:17:39 PM
wow. with the fish eye effect it does look like a whole different world. Nice time exposure!
01/24/2006 03:07:42 PM
Excellent
01/22/2006 12:25:11 PM
Great night cityscape!
01/22/2006 03:58:41 AM
Very effective
01/20/2006 05:55:57 PM
obviously taken with a fisheye lens ;) even though this image is a great cityscape, I find that the big road going up from nearly a third from the right should be a bit further to the right as it ends dead center in the image, however, I thing those big building that are on the uper part of the 3rd section were the focal point as they are the spot most interrresting in the image.


I think that with a slight rotate and crop the composition could be improved a lot.

I like the perspective you've achieved on this vibrant city. You've done a very good job capturing the energy of Melbourne. Well done and among my top picks. I think I would like it even better if it were a bit bigger. The detail might not have held up, but if it remained sharp at 640 x 422, I would have liked it even beter.

This is a very cool city shot. I lve the "maze" look it has. 8
01/19/2006 03:37:19 PM
great view of a city one generally doesn't see a lot of.
01/18/2006 11:55:00 PM
10 from me...good luck!
01/18/2006 07:30:12 PM
This is awesome! I bet it lost a lot on downsizing too. Good luck!
01/17/2006 10:19:03 PM
Interesting. I like the business in this pic. It fits
01/17/2006 09:11:34 PM
Just fantastic, I love the curvature and I love Melbourne. Good luck with the challenge mate, 10!
01/17/2006 08:58:24 PM
I like the wide angle lens and curved horizon. Good job.
01/17/2006 08:36:34 PM
Busy little buggers aren't we.
Very cool pic. Excellent composition and color.
01/17/2006 10:48:41 AM
For me this photo represents an epiphany, when suddenly the entire city seems within your grasp, you understand how all the roads interrelate, and maybe even who's going where!
01/17/2006 08:14:57 AM
I love my home town and this is a great shot...well done! Looks like the Rialto was your vantage point? Love the colour of the blue and orange together...in my top 10
01/16/2006 11:18:52 AM
Chaotic, but nice colors, and nice angle from high up. A (9)
01/16/2006 11:02:44 AM
Nice fish-eye view.
01/16/2006 10:59:08 AM
Beautiful fisheye and wonderful lighting... this is a stellar shot
01/16/2006 09:50:18 AM
stunning pic, from Rialto towers?
01/16/2006 04:10:25 AM
Love the curve of the horizon.
01/16/2006 02:33:04 AM
This is a nice image, but it's going to be hurt by its size. Make sure at least one side is 640 pixels...we're not given a very large size here but make sure to make the most of it. Good luck.
