You are on fire Keith !! Keep taking those Sydney shots - you can't LOSE !!! If you have the time you need to market this photo, publishers and tourism companies etc, it's a winner. In fact you could put a nice little package of Sydney together and see what happens. They are magnificent photographs :-)
