Next to the dockyards along Rozelle Bay... this was taken handheld high up in the air pointing the camera over a fence.



I'm not exactly sure which of the following two images I like best (if any ) - perhaps you can help me decide - I like different aspects of each image. This was taken in Federal Park in Annandale along the light rail tracks.

#1 for sure. It has viewpoints and much more whereas #2 appears more, how can I put this, dull

I find #1 visually more interesting, with more things going on. #2 doesn't look quite right to me, probably due to the top of the arch being cut off.

Love the dockyards shot

An yet I prefer the second, I find the composition
more fluid. For me it is a case of less is more.

Despite a slight compositional imbalance, I prefer the look of #2. There is a certain merit to this composition which flows nicely but doesn't necessarily lead anywhere.
The cars in the background distract a little though.
Interesting use for HDR however.

#3 could made into an unusual image by cropping drastically from the bottom about 55% way up!

Prefer no 1 as it is more interesting.

The two from Annandale appear unbalanced as the top of the bridge is cut off.

Also not a fan of the HDR treatment.
