It would be really nice if you could bring out a bit more detail in the sky.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Congratulations on a great image.

It absolutely does meet the challenge - I can see about 40 different light sources just at first glance. The colour of the sky is beautiful, the lighting is lovely, and you've succeeded in capturing an overphotographed cultural icon from an interesting angle. Not sure how much meaningful criticism I can really add here... :)

In terms of the composition: I think it works well, but I'd like to see a variation with a bit more water and a bit less sky. It might be possible to use the rule of thirds so that the first third ends at the line of light on the opera house, and the second third ends slighty below the tips of the highest roofs, in order to make the viewer's eyes move more naturally towards the focus of the shot. Well, maybe...

Oh, and minor point, but: you only submitted a 96kb image. The smaller the file size is, the more detail you lose, so try and get as close to the 150kb as possible.

Anyway, fantastic image, and congratulations on your new personal best!

And keep on snapping away!

Nothing nicer than pure white against a blue sky. Your composition is very good.

A photo doesn't need to be dramatic or exciting to be good. And
this photo shows that. I like the vertical row of bars on the white fence
the fence, stretching towards the lighthouse. And the lighthouse
itself is good to look at with it's simple lines.

I think this is awesome. How can someone say this is not more than one light source?
I love how all the lights are differant yet seem correctly exposed. Nice!
