Wonderful sky that just seems to extend the lines of the opera house. Very nice contrast.

I like everything except for the blotchy sun. Beautiful tones and contrasts.

I really like the processing that you did here, the sky is amazing and the texturs of the Opera House themselves are phenominal. Good Luck, I hope to see this in the top 10.

Lovely picture, I find the sky a bit overpowering, we look straight to it instead of the opera house.

I have seen this photographed so many times.Even I have entered it in a challenge but this is quite unique. I really like how you have captured this. Good choice to go B&W too.

I've seen many shots of this subject, but none with quite the emotion behind this photo. The moody sky, the lighting & the b&w conversion are wonderful.

Dramatic B&W. Should do very well and I hope it does.

I like the perspective on the structure, and you got a beautiful sky to boot. I must say, though I'm not a fan of the processing.

The thumbnail looked over processed for me but I love this final result. Brilliant

A different point of view for this icon, and just a glimpse of the bridge, too. The clouds are fantastic, the way their trails rise up over the curves of the Opera house. I love the dramatic black and white processing.

Nice use of HDR to bring out details.

Looks so futuristic, the B&W helps for that too.

the processing of the sky is way overboard, while its is dramatic, its pulls too much attention away from the opera house.

Icon with a fabulous sky, what's not to like. Beautiful tones, well done!

great shot, feels almost 3d... love the angle, and how the clouds feel like they are coming out of the building... 9

I've seen a bazillion pictures of this place but never one quite like this. Nice job.

A lovely monochrome. The sky is amazing although the white spot of the sun does draw my eye away from the subject. Great none the less.

it's a good work, but it's a tad too busy for my eyes

For one of the most photographed building in the world, I can´t say that I have seen this angle before, so well done there. However, the processing on the sky is a bit over the top for my taste, just "blotchy" and for me it just takes the attention away from the house, not in a good way.
