Geoff, I really like the first - not sure if it is that big, but the position with the guy on the right gives perspective as to size.

Nice stuff.

Geoff, nice. The last one could do with a bit more contrast. He reminds me of someone, maybe Sir Robert Helpmann or an old Bob Carr. The first one could do with a bit of a crop to the right to remove that dude standing there. Still, it does add a kind of perspective to the size of the sculpture.

Did you know that Sydney has 300,000 more people than Los Angeles? There's no wonder it was crowded. A little bit of interesting culture is sure to attract a culture starved crowd of Sydneysiders.

Thanks for the comments guys, it sure was a beautiful day!

I was undecided about keeping the guy in the shot on the right (1st image) but as already suggested, I kept him there to keep a perspective.

It was great to get out and take some photos :)

I'm intrigued by the second one. The two blue rectangles that seem to reflect the lighting of the sky were these mirrors? I also see that one set of numbers (182) was upside down. What was the significance of this sculpture?

The two blue rectangles were indeed mirrors, and they were reflecting the blue sky.

No idea what it meant, we didn't get a programme. :)
