Arches are one of my favorite architectural shots Donna, and you did an beautiful job here ! This is gorgeous ! The play with light and shadows, the repetition of arches, the details in the ceiling, your composition... Bravo ! #265522

This looks like such a classical setting even though it is in Melbourne. I love the vanishing point on the lines. Great work, Donna. #1487592

Great job Donna - I never ever manage to get near the GPO when they don't have tables and chairs set up - it really is a beautiful archway - great shot.

Donna,

I commented on this last night but it must have been lost in the shuffle. Cathy must have beaten me to the draw. I REALLY love this photograph. The framing is just right and I especially like the detail! I wanna walk right through there! #1488714

Donna Roberts June 20, 2005 0

This is another case of me not having any idea on what is appealing - this one almost didnt make it into my gallery.....but hey, what do I know??
Thank you so very much Cathy S (yeah!! you are the first to comment!), Patty, Janet, Mata, Stan, Paul E, Alex (hi), Renee (hi), SJ, Leanne, Kerby, Karen, Arya, Cathy G, Jenny, Daniel, Paul M, Evy, Deb, Phil & Suann (it did arrive - but thanks for stopping by again), Kelly, Linda, Marsha, Debra, Souha (hi!) & Wren.

Sara Jensen June 20, 2005 0

Stunning. I was looking through your gallery trying to pick a favourite to comment on. This one got it, but it was a hard sell. You have a fantastic eye for seeing shapes and patterns which many people don't have (I dont think I do for instance). This wasn't as abstract as many of yours which is why it probably didn't get to you as much as your others do. Still, this one is fantastic. The colours are very calming in spite of the sort of black hole type energy the picture has sucking you in. #1490853

Kate Jackson June 20, 2005 0

I only wish I could comment so poetically as everyone else but I do agree with everything that has been said. Definitely one of my favourites Donna! And what is more I am quite relieved to be back on the ground! #1490996

Brian J. Mauritzen June 20, 2005 0

You can tell from the response how impressive this is, and surely, around this time next month, you'll see by a plaque that the judges are impressed, as well.
Brilliant capture! #1498684

Hi Lynne - I had my husband with me and he gave everyone a threatening look if they dare get into the lens view.....LOL, no - actually it was very early AM on a Sunday, so I was very lucky, I only had to wait for one gentleman to make his way out of sight before I got a couple of shots taken.
