Good shot. The bridge does get lost in the skyline a bit but still nice.

I feel the bridge is actually a distraction from the buildings and the sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:04:48 PM
If Ansel Adams had done Sydney, this is what he might have shot. Great work!

Good job showing how massive the sky is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:36:35 PM
Not sure if it is just my monitor, but the sky seems to have a sudden shift from grey to black about half way up the photo. The skyline looks really nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:25:24 PM
Beautiful skyline, although the sky draws a lot of attention.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:46:16 AM
great clouds, however, the buildings behind the bridge is a little bit distraction.

Great image.

Terrific tonal range.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:54:47 PM
great looking photo, it looks a bit dark for me tho, maybe if the sky was on the light side to draw my attition to the city building.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:12:58 PM
too dark and too much detail too far away
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:55:00 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:31:58 PM
Not sure that the b&w works on this one (although the clouds look good)4, the crop is a bit tight at the bottom too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:34:08 PM
I like the b&w treatment, but the composition is just rather busy for me...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:28:28 PM
Very sharp and crisp! Nice B&W. :)

Love the bridge - it makes the shot.

 03/11/2009 08:57:53 PM
just a little to dark...did you use a gradient?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:49:53 PM
Lots of interest. I love the tones to. Kind of want to see more on the bottom but its still lovely!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:45:10 PM
I love the B&W until the sky turns black...then it loses it's appeal to me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:20:05 PM
Lovely cityscape. Great sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:00:35 PM
a little busy skyline, i think the black sky takes away from the shot, in my opinion

 03/11/2009 04:26:44 PM
