A great little city. Perhaps a little boring for me, but no more so than perth anyway! .. plus its sooo close to the mountains, SOLD!

any critique welcome, particularly on composition.

During the night shots in between old and new parliament house, the good old federal police strolled up on their bikes and were questioning me! ... i guess a manfrotto with 300mm lens on a d70 and guy wearing a ski shell could be mistaken for a RPG wielding bin laden lover. :)

also, doing the guided tour of parliament house was really quite interesting ... to my suprise. some of the facts of the building are quite impressive. (not to mention its $1.2bn price tag 18 years ago!)

two shots that really grabbed me are the one looking up the flagpole. We've seen this thing a gazillion times, but this is an interesting new take on it. But the really impressive shot is the wall of remembrance (or whatever it is). The little red things (poppies?) provide a nice counterpoint to the plain colours and the perspective works a treat.

I'm with stubbsy,

the flagpole and in particular the poppies on the white wall are great.
Darb, am I missing something here ?
Did you tell anyone of us that you were coming ?

Cheers
