Dark is probably what you are going for but on my calibrated monitor the person's shape is just barely visible. Also, the figure is a bit too central, IMO.

What a scruffy looking lion. Maybe he just got up. ;o)

Good exposure and composition.

The lighting on the cliffs is sweet. The clouds may be a bit blown out though.

I love how the clouds mimic the shape of the Opera House.

I've only been here in winter so didn't recognize the location right away. Wonderful shot.

Compositionally I think this works very well however I feel the processing is over done.

Difficult at the best of times, however the composition and the white eye on the bull have let this image down.

Let's take a ride

Greetings from the CC
=====================

First impressions: Love the light on the skyline

Composition: Seems balanced with the train in the lower third and the city taking up the rest of the picture. Enough space left in front of the train for movement. Including the S curve of the track helps lead the viewer through the photo.

Exposure: The sky and skyline are exposed well however the foreground is a bit dark and the whitebalance could use a bit of warming up. Shooting with it set to shade or cloudy (rather than auto) sometimes helps.

Impact: I think the darkness of the foreground has taken away from the impact of the image. Brightening up and possibly warming up the image would improve it.

The dynamic range in these types of images can be quite challenging to capture.

Keep shooting.
