Carolyn

Wonderful colors, details, compostion and presentation.

Very nice overall image.

I agree with Dominique it could be on a postcard.

Kerby, thanks for your nice observations and comments about this image!! I guess it would make a rather nice postcard!! :o)

After seeing your wonderful 'Enter to Beauty' series, I thought I would try a 'Cityscape' series...of some of my scenes taken around the Sydney CBD!! ;o)

Thanks again, Kerby - for this comment, and also, for the inspiration for my series!! :o) #1502750

Thank you Donna K, and Agnes, for your very kind comments!! :o)

Agnes - the flags really took my attention at the time I was taking this shot - they were merrily flapping away in the breeze, creating their own kind of 'music'!! ;o)

Have a great day, and keep snapping!! :o) #1504290

I like the perspective and depth created by the bridge. You have some nice cityscapes with modern architecture and you are in a photographer's paradise in Australia #1533254

Carolyn J. Connolly June 29, 2005

Thank you, Wayne - glad you like this one...and, my other cityscapes!! :o)

I guess almost any country CAN be a photographer's paradise, but, Australia definitely does provide a WONDERFUL choice of landscapes, seascapes, portraits, and cityscapes to capture!!

Thanks again for your comment - it means even more to me when I see your gallery full of excellent images!! :o) #1537657
