BlacknStormy berated me recently for being slack and not taking enough photos. Rightfully so, too! She gave me a two day deadline, despite my protests that I didn't have time to get out. Fat lot of good that did. :wink:
So... if you have to be at work, you may as well look for some photographic opportunities.

6.30am this morning at Brisbane International Terminal. It can actually be quite pretty sometimes. Hope you like it Rel!

C&C welcome.

Nice reflection Simon. I would be tempted to crop it at the height of the foreground shrub.

Simon,

Do you have to remind me of work, even on the forum? :!: :x

Seriously, though, you have captured the morning light well. Only thing I might have done is to try and crop/clone the branches out (bottom, right), but that's easier said than done.

Good to see Narelle cracking that whip :twisted:

A plane taking off or coming in to land caught in the reflection would make a great promotional image for the airport.

6.30 of the am :cough: Wow Simon I still had another 3 hours before I rocked out of bed. But, in saying that, if I could get as nice a pic as this then it might be worthwhile getting up early 8)

Yes, a plane in action is missing from that, but lovely reflections :D

I like it and it shows that if you look, you can usually find a picture to take.

Thanks all.

I deliberately wanted to leave this one pretty well untouched (trying to get back to basics: exposure and composition). I know the trees add a lot of dead space but I think they also give scale to the building.

I would have loved to have included the silhouette of an arriving or departing aircraft but I only had a minute or two to grab the shot and get back to work. The runway is also quite a way away (to the left of frame) so any aircraft would have just looked like a dust bunny from this angle. :wink:

I really appreciate the comments though. :lol:

Well done - and now you have another 2 days to post at least another shot !!!! :twisted:
